Put a gsxr motor in it . J/K i thought the extra power was a ecm thing, and i admit i didnt read the link. Something common sense screams at me though that cutting a wire and gaining 6hp makes no sense, or at least cant be healthy for your bike. I would just leave it alone for now, someone will eventually find the proper way to get that uk power here.

What he is referring to is called the jumper mod for 05-06 zx6. There is a dead end wiring harness that if you link two wires in it properly, it will shift the power curve up and give you around a 7hp increase on the top end (dyno verified). It is an amazingly effective and easy mod. The Kaws had the same issue with the euro market bikes having more power. It was said that the motivation for limiting the US bikes was noise. It would be an absolute wet dream if the 08 1000rr was able to be fixed in a similar manner.
