Newby with a 99, want some mod advice?

Just scored a 99 with low miles and bone stock. I already opened up the exhaust with my own creation. What else is out there for these bikes? I also just ordered a pipercross filter for the airbox. I want more power, looking into the PC. Any advice?

 

You can do the filter and pipe. But like tinkering said if you are looking for speed should have gotten a faster bike to start with. Not trying to be a smart ass it's just the vfr is more of A comprise between a sports bike and a sporty touring bike. Besides how fast are you looking to go on public roads anyway?

 

I will get some pics up shortly. I really just wanted to sqeeze a bit more out of it. I like the motor and the riding position. I do understand the compromise just thought there was a little more power to be had. Seems to me to be lacking on the low end excel.

 

Congrats on the bike and welcome aboard!

If you need a little more low end grunt, and are willing to sacrifice top end, change the sprockets and chain. Down 2 up 1 (or more) should help. Note you'll need a speedo healer making that mod.

 

Pliskin.......You stole my line ound:

 

:welcome: to the nuts house

 

Yeah the party gets started in the higher RPMs.
Most people do comfort mods or suspension mods.
There is more room for improvement with the factory suspension.

 

how do you like that DB windscreen? I was looking at the touring model.

 

It's ok up to about 65-70mph, then windblast city. I'm 5'10".
Going around at normal person speeds there is improvement over the factory shield.

This one on ebay has the touring lip.

yea I think I am gonna get the touring model.

 

I am gonna get more familiar with the bike and then go from there if need be. Overall I do really like this bike and I feel I got a real good deal on it also.

 

Hey what is the PC2 you are referring to?

 

Power commander

 

I just bought a power commander 3usb,and got my pc2 I had on before I got the pc3usb,I'll sell it for a cheap price with the cable and battery adapter(it's for loading maps when it's not on your bike), so just message me if u interested and it'll get u started and fix those problems on low speeds

 

I just have my '98 dynoed on Saturday. It put out 101.7 hp. They checked the A/F ratio and the dyno guy said he would leave it alone. I don't have a Power Commander. I have a Jardine can on it that I got from a friend. The engine is stock. Do a valve check and adjust them if needed. That yielded some good results for me. Also check your R/R. I replaced mine with a MOSFET R/R and the added voltage made my bike run harder from the bottom up.

The other mods are in my sig.
