Once again thankyou.

I should imagine that I will have to rejet as the exhaust will not be
standard anyway. Also I can only fit 2 filters not 4, and the K&N pod
filter was the one i was refering to. So it looks like I may have
been on the right path.?

So for safety reasons 5,000rpm is recomended!
I will be a "L" plater meaning top speed of 80km/h @ 4,000rpm
will the bike do this or is 6th gear for freeway use only?
At what point does the motor labour, rpm?

I read that turbo motors need to be fuel injected otherwise by by
valves! So the cost outweighs the benefit for a 250 I would imagine.

Also what tyre pressures are recomended and what preload?

What's the deal with cv carbs, what benefits do they have and what
disadvantages do thay have?? K&N said that more advantages can be
found with standard carburettors than the cv type?
