i have talked to a few tech advisors on here and they said not to... THat its not worth having to run the premium fuel in them? they said just in the clkutching gain taht mutch speed
Reed spacers...used about $30
Bore the silencer...free
clutching...$60ish(3X4.5 gram rivets & a used RX-1/Apex helix)
For $100 it will be a fun ride.

Turk where do you ride? and thanks for all the helop man i do appreciate it but i keep hearing to pipe it? you still say no?
Been der dun dat 12 years ago
pro,s vs cons
stock = 15 mpg on the worst grade regular gas u can buy
piped= 9 mpg (on a good day) with good quality premium fuel.
Stock = unkillable kinda like a 4 stroke
piped= 1 bad batch of premium fuel & you just had a bad day
For a younger guy on a limted budget stay unpiped for now
I was there in 1997!!!

to add to turks comments ,(no direct experience with piped 700 sxr's) but mods like that make sleds more tempramental to temp (or bar. ) changes ie:run great one day dog the next ...unless you rejet for the conditions it won't run consistant everyday in every condition...ask your self how much wrenching do you want to do? If you just want to ride it and have fun and get the most (TROUBLE FREE) out of it follow turks advice ..Those sleds are a riot with a single pipe!!!!

imi gonna go with your guys advice... i am seeing a lot of billet parts do you guys know of any good sites to get like choke levers and pull handels?
heres a few things you can do for very cheap
1. Get a new head gasket and peel it 1 layer and install it
2. good clutch set-up from Turk
3. reed spacers
4. bored silencer
5. 142.5 main jets and drop the needles 1/2 clip position
6. get (4) 5.38 inch wheels to replace the front 4 outer wheels that are 5.125
Do all this and that sled will take down alot of sleds on the trail.

wow thanks tom...turk does this all sound legit? sounds like it would all be great advice?

also how much you think we are talking for all that?
Drop the needles 1/2 not 1 full notch
Peeling the head gasket is 4-6 hp & needs/should have premium...your call
billet levers are just bling.
DIY would be $250

Turk helped me pipe my SXR600. It was amazing!! However, he's not kidding with the 9 mpg. I finally took the pipes off and went back to the stock exhaust and clutched the beast. It's still a very fun ride.
If you want a set of pipes, clutching components (helix, weights & spring), jets etc. Let me know ASAP. I'll sell you the whole package for $400.00 plus shipping. The pipes are in good shape, they were ceramic coated but have a few blemishes on them.
I have a guy interested in the pipes so let me know.
