mmm.... let's see.
You are skimping on tires, riding on cracked ones, trying to fix that with a stabilizer (that's a steering damper i guess) and yet want the bike to go faster?
Caught red handed!
Don't want to sound heavy, but something is wrong with your priorities and it all may end up in tears.
It might sound patronizing but we want you here for a long time.
You said elsewhere that you now understand something important about motorcycle riding. sorry, no, you haven't, not yet.

Only you can choose how much you want to change your bike, but start with making the Factory Power, with every thing set correctly. Then you may find, depending where you are that an Ignition timing change and some different Carb jets may add a few horsepower, very cheap. Adding a performance 4 into 1 of course is your starting point for other mod's, then as stated if you upgraded the cam's. All of this will let the motor breath better, which would make more mid to upper RPM power, then the opposite may be in order for your gearing you may want to go down in rear sprocket size or up in counter shaft size depending how you ride. Once you get much away from some of the simple mod's it just snowballs. Me I just can't stop, always got to be More Power.

Good advice, but I want everyone to know that my first priority is to get new tires put on. Then, I will start with the mods. Sorry everyone, that is what I really wanted to do- tires first, then mods. Yes, I am a speed freak. Either from faster starts or higher top end will do.

Wow that is nice to know that I have the weakest cams in the lineup. LOL. I was told the model is a J model. I just thought that meant something. How do I go about getting free J cams?
