You need a good baseline and feel for the bike. 2) desmog 3) Fmf pipe or pro Moto billet end cap - this is done after desmog or gutting pipe. 3) have the bike put on computer and tuned for the FI - or take a short cut and don't ride it til you desmog it. I have been told that the computer will "self calibrate" when new. Look in your owners manual on how this works. I recall the instruction. 4) don't worry about a skid plate - you won't need it with the bike sitting in the garage :smirk: 5)gearing - you may want to consider 13/48 with stock chain, 14/52 with new chain which is good for slow speed single track. I plan to switch to a 14/50 on my next set up. 6) new decals and fender arches for added HP I'm off to work :wave: [/QUOTE]
