Finally booked my 748 in for its winter workings, to be done whilst I'm in the US next week. Plan so far is
Major Service Head Overhaul (15.5K miles so due for attention) SP Cams & Pistons Dyno setup (FIM chip already fitted)
Dependant on the rocker situation I may go 853 as well, but opted to have the cams done during the rest of the headwork to save on labour in the future (and I got a deal on them).
Anything else worth considering whilst in there that's not too costly for minimal gains?
Looking at your location, I assume the work's going to be done at MotoRapido? I would advise to get your alternator bolt checked, loctited and retorqued. While you're getting that done, may as well throw on a lighter flywheel? Have fun! R X
I am, but not sure if I'll notice the effect with all the other changes. Will report anyway.

Considered that, but the early bikes don't have the bolt issue that the later ones do. Have also considered ditching the flywheel completely (no sensors on it, but could be "fun" at low speeds.

With cam timing, how much gain for 4-5 hours labour?
Ask Monty, he had his done on the ST4S last year. Big improvement on standard, especially in smoothness. To be honest if i had £1000 to spend on tuning i'd spend it on a full blue print rather than on any bolt on goodies.
