cornishtwinspring Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Im sure there must be a thread on here but here goes anyways,whatopinions do you guys/girls have on the bigbores? ie is there a noticeable torque increase or a smoother uptake down low? And are they reasonable value for money relative to performance gains? I have a 15 4rt 260. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guys Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 I don't know if it's much more expensive to just buy a 300 RR.It's got a longer stroke, so I guess it'll have even somewhat more torque than just with a bigger bore, like the S3/Mitani kit.just my thoughts 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornishtwinspring Posted December 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 A bigbore kit is less than 25% of the cost of trading up to an RR,much as I would like one it not going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_earle Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 I rode a 300 back in 2012 at a test day, It has loads more grunt but it's still on the lazy side, runs out of revs like a diesel. Unless your an expert rider you will get no benefit or extra grip. The 260 is more than enough for most who ride them, I see many people who are just a passenger, being taken for a walk by the bike!!!! Spend the money on an s3 pipe and throttle body mods, Makes a hell of a difference for less money. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornishtwinspring Posted December 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Only a header pipe? is the stock silencer good enough then? I have a ptb on her but its not a dual map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_earle Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 The S3 pipe works, Ive ridden one before and after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
