Depends on what you’re looking for. These things are sensitive to changes. If you make a change you have to make changes to realize the change. it’s the combination. You’ll save time and money if you have a goal.

super-duper +1 mr. mac
you have to go for end goal. mine was top end, hence the retard cam timing and international gearing, the sportgear brings it back down to street level so i can ride 5th at 45 and two up all on 87 fuel. if i need, i can drop to 1st and pull to 60, hard shift and wheel up. no fancy ignition, runs like a mechanical even though electronic, no voes.
the big issue is the carb, should have upgraded and the need to pull all you can on 1>4 because when you hit 5th, the 500rpm drop from the sportgear is like hitting a wall and takes time and distance to recover.
