I just looked at Moto-IQ and it looked like they did a few things that we've been talking about. they did mill their head for higher CR. they also made use of the thermal barrier coatings. these two I will be definitely doing. I also want to look into WPC treatment. They claim it reduces friction quite a bit, and if that's the case then I might send in my trans and primary gears as well to see what kind of efficiency increase I can get. looks promising. I think I'll avoid any cam changes unless I can find another cam to play with. It will probably take a while for me to get started, because I'm moving this weekend. then I have to find a spot to work on the bike. we'll leave EGR on the back burner, but if the bike runs lean after putting it back together then it might be a good way to offset that effect without adding more fuel. otherwise I'll have to find a jet kit.
