Couldn't find anything on the web. Thought I would ask the experts if anything might exist.

If there is a modification available for the boxer in all of its versions then the answer will be at http://www.ukgser.com/forums/ - it's been going since 2001 and has tens of thousands of members

I do have to ask why? If you want more power, buy a 2019 bike or something like the XR or KTM Super Duke which have 160bhp+. If you want torque by a Ducati X-diavel.

Thanks Wessie,
Love my RS, just want a bit more to go with the already fantastic BMW chassis and great ergos. Have owned many hot rod sport bikes in the past, the RS in my opinion has them all beat in overall performance.

A remap at Hilltop might be worthwhile, if you want to eek out every last ounce of oomph... (assuming you're in the UK, that is)

Cheers

If you really strive for a tad more performance it might be more cost effective in the long run to look out for a deal on a Lupin Blue one

Im down to 155lbs, cant loose anymore in that dept.

The Cams are so easy to remove on these twins was hoping there was an upgrade. Looks like all you can do is exhaust and maybe an air/fuel controller.

I bet the new shifty cams won't be all that easy to remove. And valve lash adjustments also might be more complicated and expensive, too.

a lot of gains can be made by tweaking the programming of the electronics that make such hardware changes unnecessary

research "Hilltop remap" and see if you can find an equivalent service near you - that is a UK based company. I think there are some dyno charts on this forum but you will certainly find stuff on a GS from such as ADVrider or UKGSer.

If you cannot find a local outfit, this Seattle based firm has partners across the US and does a mail order service - seems to get good reviews on the FJ09 forum.
