I just recently bought a new 06 cbr600rr and I have just been looking around for options at wat would be the best first step to increase power and torque. Figured this would be the best place to find out. What you guys recomend for me to get some zip out of my ride?

 

Full exhaust, power commander and a custom map. If that doesn't do it then I suggest a 1KRR.

 

the first thing I would do is change the gearing. Its best bang for the buck you can get. I would recommend +2 on the rear sprocket. Some will advise the +2 on the rear and the -1 on the front, but I feel its too much change especially if your driving the bike long distances or on the freeway.

You will notice a pretty big difference which ever way decide.

You can also add a speedo healer as your speedometer will be off.

 

That isn't a true power change.

 

I suggest getting a new chain n sprockets. -1t Front/+2t rear, that will net you the most in the seat of your pants power. Then a PC III, free flow air filter (K&N or BMC), and a full exhaust (headers n all). Then go get it dyno tuned at a local reputable shop, n get a custom map for you altitude n set up.

 

its already been said, but -1 front sprocket, +2 rear sprocket, akra full exhaust, K&N filters, and powercommander and dyno.

 

Break-in the engine first, put on some SuperCorsa III's, hit the track, you'll find loads of untapped zip. Otherwise, if you're a straight line addict, buy a Hayabusa. Modern sportbikes are delivered in such a state of tune, you are unlikely to gain more than ten percent extra zip.

 

The X,

The sprocket change isnt a true power change, but it is a power delivery change which will give him the "some zip out of my ride"he asked about. Also a lot less money than other mods.

 

Spirit reminded me of the article i saw about breaking in an engine...if i'm not mistaken they used a honda cbr...showed one that had been babied as per factory instructions...and one that was beat on....kinda funny how the piston rings on the beat on one were in better condition than the babied one

 

Any sprocket and chain suggestions? Or would any performance brand be just as good as the other? I see that I can buy them in a pacaged set...
