Need more power, what's available???

Just wondering what's available to get more power from this engine. I know for the '08 '09 bikes there were cams, lightened flywheel etc. But what is available for the current bikes?
I have Termi 2-1-2 slipons with the provided ECU istalled and that's it

What can I do to wake this thing up? Low end power is good but not amazing and high end it just dies.
Just to clarify, I'm at 8000' above sea level so I lose around 30% power

Header such as the Zard kit
Cams
Ported heads
Big bore kit
Balanced crank
Ti rods
Ti valve
Bigger air intake provided by any stacks


Also, I know it's not engine and most people dont care, but sometimes a good handling and turn in is 10x better than a 10hp gain.
So look into a decent fork and shock setup, and maybe BST wheels

At 8.000 feet above sea level.....a Hyabusa might be a better choice. Personally i choose to out ride my competitors...not out gun them.

I worked in Puebla and Tlaxcala in 1999/2000. I remember the roads being very nice. Have you been out that way? I left he company in December 2000 and never made it back down.

Cams, flywheel, termi 2-1 and stacks will make the bike more responsive but will not increase the power dramatically. Lose a bit down low, gain more on top. These will get you up around 90 hp. Here is a write-up and a dyno chart 2008 Ducati Hypermotard Hop Up DYNO Results! Ducati Commonwealth Motorcycles

Do you still have the cat on with your 2-1-2 setup? If so, you can drop some weight and pick up a couple ponies by going to the 2-1.

You can then do heads, pistons and such but all in all, getting the bike up around 100-105hp/90-95 ft lbs is probably the limit.

Of course, by the time you spend all that money, you could probably just buy another bike. Hyper has all its fun below 100mph as it is air-cooled and not a top end bike. If you want top end, you will have to go water-cooled.

Not after top end otherwise I would have never got the Hyper. Just a little more down low punch and any looking for any ideas what is stopping this thing breathing at higher RPM.

Yeah been out that way a few times on the Sporty. Pretty much been on most rides around Mexico City but never on the Hyper. It seems the more you make, the better bike you buy and the less time you have to ride.

If you really need more power, click on the bottom most motorcycle forum link, in the site navigation column to the top far left of this webpage.

Or wait for the 1199 to arrive.


Seriously though,

Stacks, Power commander, open exhaust, and dyno tune to adjust sh1t, made mine ridiculous. Along with my 45T in the rear, my 1100 is a low end beast.

update; Ha, the hyperlink to that forum is actually broke. Someone didn't add the ".com"

P.S.S. Lightened flywheel is not a H.P. producing mod.
