LOL sounds about right then mate.

There's many many more expert people on here than me regarding the tuning/modding of these things, they'll have all the links, the info etc.

But essentially your bike currently has somewhere in the low 40's, possibly 44bhp I think, with the mods done you're looking closer to 53bhp. But it's not just the power it's the way it makes the power and the grunt difference.

The list is as follows.
K&N/DNA stage 1 filter
K&N/DNA Stage 2 filter
Remove airbox snorkel
Fit KEv's o2 mod/electrical jobbie
Exhausts
Fuelling by either power commander or Kev fuel mod.

Now this little lot is likely to cost you �400 give or take (with used exhausts) but the difference is really worth it.

Currently I can't ride out and meet up with you, I've knackered my shoulder jumping tabletops LOL. However, I'm only north of Newbury and you're welcome to come and ride mine and compare back to back.

I've also got the fork spacer mod installed which is another recommended mod on the 660's.

THe 660x is never going to be the quickest, the most powerful and the lightest SM out there. It's way too heavy to begin with. However, its still able to give grins and can do things that the KTM/Bergs/Huskys simply can't.

1. Go more than 100 miles on a tank
2. Start first time, every time
3. Be ridden at 100mph+ for hours at a time
4. Not explode

They're a compromise on some bits... but massively better on others.

I'm currently debating the suspension options on mine. Well, once I'm fit I am

And then those other bike brands probably don't have a forum like this!
