teddybattye Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 I currently own a 260 repsol 4rt with plenty of upgrades. Twin map throttle body, bigger radiator, termigoni system etc . . . I'm toying with the idea of sticking a big bore kit on it, has anyone gone from having a 260 to a 280? did you notice any difference?

jimmyl Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 I bought a 2009 with 280 kit and put it back to a 250 and found much more manageable. My 15 260 is nicer again so unless you feel you are struggling for power would be 100 certain before spending a lot of time and money etc. What maps are you running? What is your riding style?

teddybattye Posted April 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Dont worry im not rushing in to it. Its a lot of cash if theres not much difference. Ive fitted stiffer fork springs with 5wt oil. Fitted a trp rear shock with the right weight spring. Im running the mild and wild maps. I hate revving any bike to death to make it move hence the 4 stroke. I mainly use 1st and 2nd gears odd time 3rd on steep hills. I may just need to learn to be more agressive with the bike. Im finding it may need a bit more low down power to shift my backside. I have lost 1.5st since new year to improve this though. No offence taken ha ha ha I have a few vids if i figure how to post them on here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
