How do I make a motorcycle faster than the standard?

What are the cheapest/easiest aftermarket parts to put on a motorcycle to make it faster?

• I ride a Suzuki SV650 and want to know what aftermarket parts will make it faster. If I put an aftermarket tail pipe on it, will it increase performance or only make it sound different?

• Answer:

  Like Jesse said there is no real cheap mod. Your bike a fuel injection so forget all that talk about carbs. The 1st thing most people do is a performance exhaust for your bike I highly recommend M4 for your bike since it's a V-Twin not an in-line 4. M4 will give the best sound for the V-Twin as opposed to some like Yoshimura and better hp delivery than ones like D&D or V&H. With any exhaust mod you'll need a power commander (about $300), and you could get a performance air filter (around $70), try indysuperbikes.com. You will need to get it mapped, check your local shops for labor prices. That's a great start. The exhaust is gonna vary in price depending if you get slip ons (about $275) which is just the cans. That will give you just a slight hp boost and better sound or the full system (about $550) that will give you a nice hp boost and an even better sound. The money is worth it in my humble opinion. Ether way if you make any changes to the exhaust you're gonna need the PC. Good luck!
