[I have a 2000 929rr. Besides putting a 954 engine in it I haven't made any modifications. I had a mechanic friend do the engine, but now I want to make it a little lighter and a little faster. Anyone got any suggestions on where to shed pounds and get horses?

 

Besides the obvious mods, work on becoming a better rider. The 929 is plenty fast.

 

Working on the riding. The faster lighter part is a machine goal. What are some of the obvious mods you were talking about?

 

I think the biggest question you have to ask yourself is how much money you want to spend. There comes a point when it doesn't make sense to spend the money. But, For cheaper power, you'll want to stay external of the engine with exhaust and intake mods. Just don't expect a ton of power increase. 5-10 horsepower with exhaust, intake and a powercommander is average. if you go internal with timing and cams, you can squeaze out some more, but at a cost. To make it lighter. I think the biggest change you can make is with the wheels. Also, make sure you buy good quality tires. The cheaper tires tend to run a bit heavier.

for me, I'd throw on a slip on, power commander and a -1+2 sprocket set. and then enjoy the bike...

 

all carbon fiber skins, marchesini magnesium rims, high quality light wieght tires, carbon fiber engine and stator cover, magnesium subframe(or carbon fiber) carbon fiber swingarm,bmc or kn air filter, race cams, shaved race head, full light wieght race exhaust, power commander with custom tune, im sure there are other things too but prob buy 3 new bikes buy the time your done payin for just this list lol
