G'day Guys and Gals,
On the Air Filter front, a good filter, say a K&N or BMC will offer at the best 1-2 HP when re-mapped. In all honesty you will never feel the difference in power. To feel any change in power you will need at least 7-10 HP. Be this as it may I still feel it's a good move as if you can find a few neddies here and there and add them all, you can end up having some real fun.
Say for example you do the air box modification, there's 4, add the filter, now your looking at 6, put on a pipe or mufflers, 10-11 is reasonable, then add in a good re-map and all up your looking at 14-15 HP.
Then there are other mods inside the motor that don't require a total engine strip. Very soon you could be looking at 20 HP. And there is no reason this can't be done!
Warranty really depends on the dealer, however have you noticed in the past some dealers selling new bikes with a full system, air filter and jet kit? I have.
In my opinion, warranty would have to be given even with the modifications listed. How many bike had the latest CCT modification done and had a full system fitted? I will ask someone to comment on this issue when he come back from the GSXR1000 service schools.
Thanks Bob for your comments, it was a top day, and comments like yours make it even more worth while. Maybe we can do it again.
Regards Col
