Quote from Dai dated friday 13th 2016
I did two things on mine: advanced the timing by four degrees (thanks Rick!) and fitted a set of K1100 throttle bodies. SOTP says it's kicking out four, maybe five more BHP than standard i.e. I felt the difference and standard wisdom has it that the rider's backside can't feel less than a four bhp increase. If it's a K100RS then retrofitting the standard K100 bevel drive will also get you a bit more kick (lower gearing).
Is it worth it? Dunno, but it's fun doing it!
Also, screwing the nuts off it in third gear definately helps. Mine does 60-90mph in minus three seconds. Well, it feels that way!
I fully concur with Dai, although my FD is a 33/11 , taller geared, but 1100 tbs and timing tweak done, I can drop her into 3rd at 70 , and wound her open. and wow....
the result is quite startling . She really pulls hard, more than I expected..
Three figures comes up very quickly.
Great fun, addictive too.
