If you are buying the exhausts new get the Arrows, they are "E" marked with removeable baffle and sound great officer

I have a 40 tooth rear sprocket (748S) and its great fun, in an ideal world I would have an 853 conversion but Santa seems to have missed me out

unlikely with a 2000 spec model

I have a 14/40 sprocket set up, which I recommend - £220 inc new chain, sprockets and quick release carrier.
Open pipes and chip.
Open air tubes with velocity stack filter.

Next for me is 853 pistons in summer but this will depend on your budget.

I would go one more and fit a 41 tooth rear.

Top end suffers more but how often do you really want to go above 140 ?

I find this the best way to stop you doing it with more fun in between !

Ive got a few sets of 50mm termis if you can find the header pipes off another bike...get it breathing like a goodun !! Also got some brand new ducati performance chips for the 748 (£20) which will help with open cans..

Think its only the earlier bikes where you can completely remove the flywheel..?

Cheers

Buy a 996

do the 853 option, i did and its ace, not cheap but worth the money, by the time i add a power commander it will be making more than a 916 of the same age. then run 14/41 sprockets and you'll be laughing your ass off

would a power commander be a better option over a fim ultimap chip ???

[cjsperf]

the fim chip is also adjustable by ignition so small gains can be found over the pc3. however there are only a couple people with the ultimap software to adjust them. dynojet have released there ignition box to be connected to the pc3 to map ignition and raise the rev limit its around 200 quid and i will be testing it next month.

hiya chris, good xmas ???

got me self a pc111usb off ebay for £60 so that answers my own question as i remember you saying it was easier to refuel a pc111 if i can afford to get you to do anymore engine work that is.

where would you recommend to take the 853 to,to get the pc111 set up properly ??
