If you did all that and still want to go faster then give Mr. Henson here a call and tell him to fix you up just like he did for Kent Stotz's 1000RR

:rofl:take off the 520 and put the stock sprockets back on.

that only gives you more acceleration for wheelies and such, but it robs your top end.

also I remember reading that the k&N makes less hp that the stock filter. i don't remember the numbers but I do remember reading that on here somewhere.

If enough of us keep posting we could pump a little life back into this place maybe. With or without Admins Help.

All I needed was to hear my 07 RR. Put a Two Bro's mid pipe and Ti-can on it, that made it Very Happy. Personally I don't see any reason to make it any faster than that unless somebody wants to ruin it by making a drag racer or something. Got some friends here that lowered their 1k's, they thought that was real cool till they tried to follow me on my 919 around some twistys, lol...........

I felt that the 520 gave me more by losing the weight of the stock sprockets and chain felt like the motor gained more. reason i want to go faster is, my buddy has a 08 1000rr and he is about 50 lbs. lighter than me. he always wins and runs his mouth......

the motor did gain more, it's working much harder

it's like changing gears on a mountain bike. go to the lower gears and you can climb a hill easy, but on a straight you will petal your ass off trying to gain speed. thats when you switch to the higher gears and build up speed. little harder to petal, but once you get moving you fly.

thats basically what a 520 conv does to the bike. with the low gears you will wheelie easy and have crazy acceleration. but you loose top end, your engine is running at a higher rpm, which causes ware on your engine and cost you in the mpg department. your speedo and odometer will also be off.

if you want to shave weight there are ways of doing it, (wheels, exhaust, bodywork, etc..) but a few links of chain and a tooth or two isn't going to make that big of a difference.

the 520 and smaller front / larger rear sprocket is ideal for stunters and short tight race tracks, but is not the best setup for the street, or bigger tracks with long straights and high speed runs.

In order to make up for that 50 lbs advantage he has on you with the same bike you gotta loose 50 lbs or plan on spending $5000.00 or more on wheels, cam's, headwork, full exhaust system, or........a shot of nitrous that I know nothing about except it blows motors up on occasion.

Improve your driving skill'z on a track, take a class, use the bike for what it's built to do. Tell him any Pussy can go in a straight line let him follow you around some curve's and show him what a "Superior Attitude" is all about.

The new bike is alot lighter and has a much stronger midrange.The 520 conversion does help because of the lighter components.The rotational weight is significant.

dosn't the 520 change up the gear ratio?
much like the 1 tooth down in the front..

i'm not arguing, just want to make sure I'm not giving bad advice.

Gearing change is optional when doing a conversion. The 520 conversion changes only the chain size (a 520 chain is much smaller and lighter than a 530). You can do a 520 conversion and get sprockets that are the same # of teeth as stock ones. These sprockets, though, are aluminum rather than the heavy stock steel ones so weight is dropped here too (not just by losing teeth). They will have to be 520 compliant (530 sprockets won't work with 520 (or 525) chain and vice versa) but they dont have to have a different # of teeth. But more often than not, people go ahead and change gear ratio while doing said conversion for obvious reasons. Hope this helps.

His '08 is completely stock and still faster than your modded '07? That surprises me a bit. I would figure with exhaust, air filter, power commander, and gears, you'd have him beat but i guess not. If you can afford it, maybe try to find a shop that will dyno tune your bike and give you a custom map. Also (although might not make a huge difference), i've heard the same stories about K&N filters actually making less power than stock. I'd go with a BMC filter. They seem to have a much better repoir.

so it's the 1 tooth dorn in front that has robbed his top end, i was understanding that they were the same mod and when done together it magnified the results. well now I know.. thanks.

the 520 did nothing noticeable to gain you any speed on the street. the power commander is doing you no good if it's not custom mapped...arrow pipe (i assume slip-on) gained you maybe 2 HP, the emissions mod and flapper mod don't help much either. you'd do better to lose some weight. he and his bike is much lighter, plus more HP. Losing 5 lbs is +/~ 1 HP

plus.....this is a stupid fucking question. how do i make my bike faster?? there's a 100 ways or more, but if you have to ask how....you ain't worthy. drive through and have a nice day.

:urfunny:I must know how to make a bike faster since everything i have done to it i mentioned in the begining and no one has yet gave any advice i dont already know, im looking for more spicif motor work. this is my 12th bike and i stunt so i dont need some one who must work at mc donalds "drive through and have a nice day.", giving me advice unless your gonna even name 2 of the 100 ways that i dont already know. and yes i know more than i listed

Sorry butter bean. but with all due respect, i dont know what your laughing at, I didnt hate on you not even know anything about a 520 conversion. regearing is, regearing. 520, 525, and 530 oh and 532 (R6 stock chain) is the pitch and width of the chain which is also lighter. plus the sprocket is .07 lbs compared to 3-4 lbs of a stock sprocket. dont gain hp but use more of the hp you have.

im laughing :lol4:at the post above mine because i find it funny:rofl3:.
am i not allowed to express my thoughts:rofl:

i only posted info that i thought was correct at the time i posted it:urfunny::urfunny:
now i will research the subject and IF i was wrong i can walk away a better person.:kickass1:

if you were more specific with your question then you might get a better answer.
