More Air Intake

Reducing the restriction on the air intake system is a quick way for an instant performance boost. You can find kits that make the process quick and easy. Conduct some basic research before hooking anything up to your motorcycle so that you do not negatively impact another system. For example, more airflow may equal burning up more fuel. You want to find a balance between both systems.

New Exhaust System

If you plan on giving your motorcycle more air intake, you should also look into upgrading the exhaust system. You can do only one, but the best results come from completing both modifications at once. Look for a new exhaust system that will work more efficiently. 

Get a Jet Kit

You can tune a motorcycle with a carburetor to improve its total performance. You can also invest in a jet kit with everything you need to mess around with the jets. You can get more power from your engine if you install new jets, especially jets designed to go hand-in-hand with other modifications.

Check the ECU

With a newer motorcycle, you may need to look at the ECU or engine control unit. New bikes have this feature, which is a computer chip preprogrammed to industry standards. A professional mechanic may be able to reflash the ECU. This process reprograms the ECU with a more efficient tune.

Invest in Custom Parts

Beyond these common methods for improving performance, you can also invest in various custom parts. Check out your local dealership or mechanic to get some specific ideas. You can find exhaust kits, air kits, jet kits, mufflers, and more that can help you customize the total power of your bike's engine. 

Get the most out of your motorcycle with modifications. If you want to improve performance, you need to put in the work to do it right.
