How about taller than stock tires? Say 22" or 24". Also could lose a tooth or two in the rear sprocket or add a tooth in the front sprocket. How about dropping some weight off of the machine, by replacing some of the components with lighter ones, like replacing all of the nuts and bolts with titanium ones as modquad did, get carbon fiber rims, lose some weight yourself. If all else fails, install the happy bottle(nitrous). If even than you are not satisfied, you'll need an intercooler with a TURBO! It all depends on just how fast you want to go, and what kind of riding you want to do, and how much money you want to spend. Hope that helps.

Thanx alot man, im gettin some 22's and im puttin in a wiseco high compressin piston and a K&N filter.I was gonna change the sprockets around but wasnt sure which one to change or what to change it to.
Do you think that a wiseco 12:5:1 high compression piston for $121.50 is a good deal or should i go for the JE 11:1 for $154.00

Also....Try an aftermarket CDI and pick up another 500-1000 RPM's (or more on some CDI's)

Losing a little weight might help with acceleration but it won't increase top speed. That's all about horsepower and aerodynamics. If the hp is there, more gear will get more speed. More rpm will help IF there's enough hp at the higher rpm to overcome the drag. Otherwise you'll never see the extra rpm when you get to high gear and you may even lose a little acceleration if you're dropping out of the power band before you shift.
