power adder pro and cons

[baylensman]

okay so I'd like to start a simple thread and maybe we could get it stickied (is that a word) to the tech page.

 

real simple. What power adder did you use and what are the results include cost to purchase time or cost to install upside benifit (pros0 and downsides (cons)

 

For example:

 

did the Jason Mod. Cost about $6 in hose and tees at auto shop. took about 45 minutes all told. Pro bike "feel's" more responsive. con's don't know if I can deal with loopy idle

 

I want to hear about jetting carbs, new exhaust, surface gap plugs, nitros turbos rear end swaps V-max heads everything.....

For what kind of bike are we modifying ?

[baylensman]

any and all of the V-4 1200-1300 cc bikes venture royale RSV RSTD just want to get start a good list of what works and what doesn't

[baylensman]

I was susprised that this thread got so little response.

I want everyones opinion on power adders they have installed.

Did it work? Did you get advertised claims? was it worth it? ease of instalation?

 

we are talking about yamaha v-4 bikes gen 1 gen 2 rstd ect.

There's only a couple of members who have the need for speed. Beyond a little tinkering like the Jason Mod and exhaust/jetting, the majority of us are satisfied with the performance of the Venture as it sits. For the small stuff there are some good articles in the tech section covering most...if not all of them. Hence the non-response by many.
