What is next in Performance Upgrades for my 686?
I dare anyone to line up against Dollarbillz, with no wheely bar or nitrous and full suspension.
The fact of the matter is there are lot of builders out there and a lot of them can get you to spend a lot of money and you think you are getting results by them telling you high hp numbers. You don't race dyno's, its a tuning tool and thats it.

This guy was asking about performance upgrades on his 686 and I was just trying to point out to him that setup plays a huge part in taking his given hp and putting it efficiently to the ground. Its no secret that a well setup 686 is very impressing. I just dont want people to take this post the wrong way. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Ok, I got lost in the other issues being addressed.
So, bottom line = Your all telling me to not give up hope on my 686 Raptor? If i run lower octane fuel, go down a tooth on the front sprocket and, get a +4 swingarm, get paddles w/ less grip and, lower profile (increase wheel spin - "haulers") I should see much better performance and, be able to actually lauch with out bogging in 2nd or flipping over on a wheelie?
Hmmm,,, put another grand into this thing and, give it a chance or sell it for the best i can get and, cut my losses and, start over..... - Dilema's, Dilema's!

The FCRs improved power pretty much everywhere on my 686. I dont know what the actual numbers difference would show on a dyno but the feel was night and day. I'd never go back to the stockers after running the FCRs. The top end was the most noticeable but the midrange came on alot stronger as well. They just plain make it run stronger.
I dont know what they run currently but I paid about $700 IIRC from sparks. I'd imagine you could find a pair of them from a streetbike and jet them appropriately for far less. Might have to hunt around for a proper cable though.
