I have a 06 cbr600rr, my buddy just went out and bought a 08 gsxr 600. The other day we were racing from various roles and from a 1st gear 20mph role i had him, It was close, but everytime we raced and I was under 10,000 rpms he was pulling on me. When I would hit 10 grand i would either keep up or catch him a lil bit but then i'd shift and the same thing happened. What can I do to the bike to get more out of the bottom end. The bike is stock so fire away?

 

How many miles? Maybe check the air filter and spark plugs to see if replacement is needed. If both are needed, then your entire powerband would be improved.

And the only reason that gsxr rider was able to pull on you was probably because of the weight difference...his sandals weigh less than your boots.

 

It only has about 2300 miles on it.....haha yeah I weight about 212 and he weights about 160 lol......all my buddies ride suzukis gotta figure out some way to shut 'em up lol

 

You could try messing with the gearing...might pull a little quicker off the line. I guess it depends on how much you wanna spend too. Full system exhaust and power commander might help, but that's gonna cost you.

 

I think I'm gonna get a speedohealer, chain conversion kit and sprockets.....they seem minimal cost wise and I think it will bive me what i'm looking for

 

I would do chain and sprockets before I mess with the exhaust. From what I have seen with most people's dyno print outs, whether it has been slip-on or full exhaust, you will see the torque curve basically matches or can be lower than stock at the bottom and then the curve shoots up past the stock curve at mid to high range. Again, get the sprockets because people say good things about them.

 

decent, i have already ordered the speedohealer and i am gonna be working next week over my spring break to get the chain and sprockets (yes, im that dedicated of a rider. i am skipping on spring break to make money to make my bike faster) lol

 

I ordered my 520 kit last week, it will be in Tuesday. I'll be sure to let u know what the difference is. When I had my old cbr600 f2 I bought the same kit and it made the difference of not being able to clutch a wheelie to pulling up in 2nd gear.

 

A simple and cheap $15 one tooth down front sprocket would make a sizable difference, it was worth about .3 in the 1/4 mile on my F2.

 

thank you to everyone on your input...i think im gonna do the 520 conversion with gold chain and sprockets...once someone lets me know how t post pics on here ill post some pics and let you know how it runs...and ayres yeah let me know how it runs
