2 mods for a CBR 125, but how and what

[nutter]

Basically there are 2 things I want to do to my CBR 125 '05

1. Calibrate the speedo as I know it over reads quite a bit (88mph is 66.1 according to GPS) and
2. What are the best ways of getting more power out of the engine, be it engine mods or other mods to the drive.

I'm going to pass my test on 27th november (positive thinking ) and want to see how good the CBR really is before I decide to go up to what i'm planning to be a SV650 Sport.

Cost is not an option at the moment as I don't have a budget, just asking whats out there

Many thanks
Mark

That is some serious speedo innaccuracy! Have you got the wrong size tyre on it or something

Given you have your test soon why bother spending money on your CBR? There's almost nothing you can do to make it better, just save up for your first proper bike If cost is no option just get yourself a really nice SV650 if that's what you want and spend the money on some decent kit so you can enjoy it over winter

EDIT: Actually, just thought, if you really want to spend some money on increasing the power of you bike just take more lessons so you DEFINITELY pass and can get a bigger bike

Sound advice from tommy there. I have to totally agree with him though i see spending money on the cbr as a waste. Save it and use it more effectively, your only going to sell the cbr in exchange for a bigger, better bike. But good luck on the test.

I think you can get quite cheap electronic speedo calibration units these days; look on ebay.

However, I'm not sure I'd bother even with that personally; the SV will be so much of a difference that it's not worth spending any significant money on the CBR, I'd say, agreeing with others.
