2nd hand headers - all polished up to get rid of the tarnishing they came with. Bargain really, less than half price compared to new. That should release a few decibels over stock.

Yup. All the fire flames and noise is blocked by that. Yes there is more power if you do this and map .... But there is enough power

guy at work has a ZX10R

had replaced his battery and it switched his tc off.. he was crapping it

mine has no such need ... but it does need a new abs pump (under warranty thankfully)

i reckon TC would be important for me sometimes in winter on the next bike up.. no way in the dry . he is mental, as commuting on a 200bhp racer proves

bike tyres always make me think there is somert wrong with those s2000 bridgestones

the XSR can be soundly abused without drama and i reckon it'll still hit 60 in the 3s in the wet if you are angry/unhinged/in a rush

PS4 on the S2000 are excellent, they will be going on the Fiesta when the Potenza wear out .... on the bike i think it's Dunlop RS3 - also excellent and crucially, excellent in cold / wet / dry.

i think on mine its a combination of low inertia, moderate power and ace rubber.. i have michelin pilot super sport or something on the m3, it is quite tail happy but they are far better than the prev gen (oem) stuff

a new guy at work today with a tidy black 'blade.. very nice.. lost in hp wars to a tuned zx10r tho but still almost 3 x the power of mine.. mental
