Help with upgrades!
Greetings:
I am filling my Christmas list this year with parts and pieces for my 98 F3. I need some help with basic questions. My bike is completely stock (Yoshi slip-on)with about 10,000 miles on it. Please help in an area you can. Please give any reasons you have for your suggestions. Thanks in advance.
1. Filters: I want to replace both my air and oil filter. I have heard both positives and negatives about a few brands. Fram, stock? Paper vs. high performance?
2. Chain and sprocket kit: I want to down in the front and up in the rear. I have browsed bikebandit, denniskirk, etc and seen a few different sets. Any ideas, part numbers?
3. Jet kit: I have looked at the Dynojet stage 1 kit and it seems like a good deal. Thoughts?
4: Fairings: My tail sections are trashed and need to be replaced. I've looked on bikebandit and the pages let me know which pieces I need but I don't know about colors. I have the all red bike with black Honda logos. Little help here?
Thanks again

RE: Help with upgrades!
when you go for the jet kit, i would suggest just taking it to a shop and letting them take care of it because they will be able to tune the carbs properly, the place near me uses a dyno to make sure its dialed in jsut right.

RE: Help with upgrades!
Thanks for the info so far.
A follow up about chains/sprockets: I know that I need to go with a 520 chain that is 108 links. I want to change the set-up (from 15/43 to 14/45) and am wondering if anyone has done this and if so what parts/brands they used. Also, what is the difference between an O-ring or X ring chain? Any help would be appreciated.
