Save up and get Steve's 2 Minute Mod Jet Kit and Exhaust Sprocket for $150. You'll be glad you did.
For that $150, you'll get a lot of bang for the buck. The cam sprocket builds up cylinder pressures quite nicely in the low and mid range, the jet kit makes normal throttle openings feel more spirited, without being too abrupt. You can really feel the difference from a stock bike. Nice low buck way to get real improvement on both the butt and regular dyno. My cams were getting to look kinda nasty at about 140k miles, so I put in one of the initial sets of SiSF's torque cams. These build even more cyl pressure and made the bike "come alive" in normal part throttle acceleration. More $$, better results.
(but not that much more)
On topic. I also had ground that plate for the advance, I put it back to stock. I get about 39 mpg commuting on two lane road for 12 miles, two traffic lights, about 7-8 corners, speed limit 45-55, which I routinely exceed, driven in a more spirited(sometimes much more) manner on the way home in daylight, more conservative in the morning darkness. I'll also add that there is a lot of junk hanging on my bike, two sets of driving lights(I like to see in the dark
) tip over bars. and a big old 26" Cee Bailey shield, all contributing to extra drag. Running a 110/80zr18 PR3 radial up front, 160/80/16 Pilot GT bias in the rear. Hope this all helps.
Disclaimer: I've known SiSF personally for about 5 years. A decent human being that knows his stuff. We are hooking up Saturday morning to go here:
