Hello I have searched and read this site many times in the last few days looking for info. I have a 2003 xb9r I just got. I ride with big bikes and dont want to keep up. What do i need to do to increase performance? My wife is letting me spend 1k and no more. Im going to get my exhaust done, k/n filter, but what else do i need. I love my new bmw s1000 but I like the way the twin sounds and would like to put some miles on this and keep them down on my other. plus its winter here and I have time to "tinker"....
 
this link will give you hp and torque readings for different exhausts.do an open air box mod and get an ebr race ecm for the exhaust you choose.you can also tune your own ecm or have a shop tune it on a dyno. exhaust shootout ebr ecm

i guess you mean big as in bigger displacement engines like the big super fast jap bikes.

what exactly do you want out of your Buell and how & where do plan to ride your BUELL.

with most buells you should be able to kill them in the twisties but not much you can do to kill on the straights.
with that said and ONLY 1k that would limit what you can do.get K&N air filter & find the exhaust you like or want , tune your (stock)ECM to it or buy EBR tuned to that exhaust if you dont want tune/remapp it.
if you decide to remap its easy or take the better route and really tune it right to max out of it, then i suggest see a pro tuner or cheaper probably better route because you will learn how to do it yourself take Octopus tuning course ( search . theoctopus, tuning sessions),
there is another thread about what you can do with a grand to make alot more power,
with the xb9 you already the higher gearing.
$1k for HP/TQ

Defintely checkout the exhaust shootout good exhaust info there on HP/TQ and how loud each is.

with you having the 2003 xb9 you have the hole in the framewith the scoop it gets a ram air effect pushin air into the air box so air box delete wont do much for you except make the intake louder. but it does look good with transparent airbox cover.


a few more good reads too.

Im not looking to be the fastest out there I have my other bike if I want to do that. I just dont want to be thinking I was on my other bike while Im rideing. No one I know of ride buell in my area so I like to be diffrent. I ride the only BMW s1000rr and soon the only buell. I like to stand out not blend in with the pack. Im 100% positive im going with hawk muffler kn filter and a ecm tune.
