    Hi all,

    I've got a 2010 in black and gold. It has a carbon yoshi exhaust, ASV adjustable levers and Gilles adjustable rear sets. Also got a seat cowl, double bubble screen and some carbon bits.

    Can you recommend any other mods I should do, probably more looking at performance enhancements now?

    Thanks for your advice

    Pc3 or 5 and plus 2 on the rear sprocket I can recommend
    A lot of people swear by suspension set up but not done his yet but apparently 40quid and transforms the bike!

    What's better PC3 or 5?

    Also will an air filter make a difference?

    Well it cost me peanuts for a +2 Talon sprocket and I'm chuffed with it.Best mod in my book.If you can ride it well and keep the front down there ain't many things that will keep with it.Front end is lively when hitting 8k revs though:D

    I think there is a few more maps on the 5 but if your gong to get a custom map there's prob not a huge difference apart from price.
    Didn't notice a massive difference with filters myself to be honest, rear sprocket was a HUDGE difference for very little cash

    Not much in it between the pc3-pcv but the 5 is slightly better, you wont gain much from all the top manufacturers "road" version air filters and i wouldnt recommend using the race versions on the road.

    Going +2 on the rear will give good improvements on acceleration but will loose top end, personally its not for me as i like to cruise fast but without having the engine screaming.

    Suspension is a great place to look at upgrading, be that just a simple set up change or upgraded fork internals (k-tech) and aftermarket rear shock

    The HM+ quickshifter is a little gem and well worth a look and also a brembo m/c with braided lines
    -brembo m4 callipers
    -brembo underslung rear calliper
    -dymag wheels up7x or carbon (they are both currently on sale hehe)
    -brembo rcs clutch lever
    -HM racing dashboard
    -radiator guard
    -samco hoses
    -gear indicator
    -brembo T-drive brake discs
    -custom dyno map
    -lithium battery

    That might do you for a few weeks :)

    Oh and i do bloody hope you already have a tail tidy

    Think Fez's wet dream list about covers it lol

    For me the Brembo 19/20 RCS M/C and Hel lines was a great mod, then HRC Quick action throttle kit, HM+ quick shifter is my all time favourite mod (Arthurbikemad can sort you out, he's our dirty HM bling dealer ;) )

    Gilles gear shaft support is another useful mod with the gilles rearsets you already have ;)

    The bike is very good as you have it, custom map with PCV and suspension setup would be my choice :)

    The Hm shifter is onlyof to really change feel of bike in an instant, its when you then ride a non qs bike you really miss it.
