More performance from my 800GS

Bootoo · 12-21-2012, 10:07 PM

Inmates, help me out. How do I get more from my GS. What more can I do apart from new header, pipes and muffler?? Anyone tried anything?

Love to hear from you.

What specifically are you looking for?

There are all kinds of "enhancements" that guarantee better performance.

Ex. Off-the-line you can drop a tooth in the front sprocket.

Speed and HP. I've done the sprockets, front and rear. Looking for more grunt specifically.

You want to go faster do the suspension!

BcDano · 12-22-2012, 06:38 AM

+1 for suspension. The rest are marginal gains for the money at best.

First, you will need a donor bike...

spend the money on the new R1200GS 125hp

I got a Bazzaz Performance chip in mine. It accelerates smoother and it gave me 7 extra HP, on top of what i already gained from new header and muffler.

You picked up 7 hp with just a piggy back fuel controler? So how much hp is your bike making at the wheel?

Thats what they said. I think that said i was getting 80hp, but it was a while ago. But the biggest change was how smooth the acceleration is. Im getting close to 10hp bellow 4500 RPMs, its pretty cool.

Sorry, but I doubt that performance gain. Unless you have a dyno chart, before and after. If you do, then I'm buying the beer next time I'm riding the sunset trail......

Bootoo · 12-22-2012, 07:36 PM

Thanks all for the contributions. I owned the GS1200, that's why I got the 800. The 1200 is a battleship and hopeless other than on mild gravel. You can treat the 800 like a real dirt bike. The 1200 needs a 21 inch front wheel and plenty more - or should I say less!!

They used my bike for their R&D, They dynoed the shit out of it. There was no reason for them to lie to me, I didnt pay for it.

When a very expensive exhaust and headers yield a few hp and a comp claims such a high net gain it leads to skepticism. Not saying it couldn't happen, I can take a two stroke and get a lot of ponies by leaning the mix but I could also weld the plug to the piston too. It would be great if the data was provided by the company.
