Is There A Definitive 315 Improvement/set Up Guide ?

[ar22]

I have a 315r 2000 which is bog standard, to save the like of me asking questions that others who are much more knowledgeable thinking "thats been asked a 100 times"

 

Was there ever a thread or an article written that went through the 315 and pointed out its evolution and possible ways that the older bike could be improved.

 

For a starter I'm aware that dimpled clutch plates are a big improvement, what about brakes, engine oil, exhaust etc ?  

 

thanks

As you say

Raceline dimpled steel plates with Haven fibre plates plus Elf oil make the clutch as good as anything I've ridden

If it isn't already done: replace the air filter cover with an open one and remove the restrictors in the exhaust.

 

Mount special link plates, which raise the rear a bit, makes the rear suspension more lively.

 

And decoke the exhaust for max power.

I think I better get the exhaust off

 

is there any jetting changes needed with the restrictors out and airbox cover cover opened up ?

I don't know about the 315 but most bikes I have de-restricted have done well to be re-jetted.

Any ideas where I can get an open cover or is it a matter of making or nodding an old one?
