I own a 1998 CBR600 F3 and I'm wondering if there are any semi cheap performance upgrades i can get, just for some extra power. I'm also wondering if anyone has anysuggestions about LED or neon kits.

Thanks,
Luke

 

Other than a slip on and air filter I don't know too much more you can do. An aluminum sprocket can help with acceleration (less rotational weight).

On my bike I have a full V&H exhaust, jetted, BMC filter, ignition advancer along with needle springs for faster reving. I got about 90hp out of it on a dyno run.

Not with everything on yet

Thanks, i have a yoshi slip on at right now, it sounds nice i just wanted to know if there was anything i could do for a few hundred or less.

 

And this is probably a dumb question, but I'm new to the whole bike lingo. What does jetted mean exactly?

 

It means you've changed the fuel to air ratio of the carburator by adjusting the jets, or changed the fuel map if you have a fuel injected bike.

A cheap performance upgrade is changing your sprockets. It doesn't give you any additional HP, but it changes the sprockets ratios so you'll have added acceleration, but lower top speed. Not many of us ever hit the bikes top speed so its an advantage.

 

What BDT said is correct.

Here is a supersize picture you can see. On the right of the pic you'll see the goldish looking thing. That's your jets

Which you could do an ignition advance and rejetting for fairly cheap. But you also would probably need to do a couple of dyno runs or find someone who really knows F3s inside and out to recommend what size jets you need.

The ignition advancer is pretty easy to do yourself also and this is what it looks like...
