Sniper Mx Modifications

Good day sirs, i just want to ask what kind of modifications can enhance my sniper mx's acceleration and top speed without affecting the gas consumption?
i just got my sniper mx 2012 edition last wednesday (sept. 19, 2012) and its odo reading is already at 312, so basically i'm still in the break-in process.
hope you can give me some advice, TIA.:)

hmm.. you should break in it first.. and observe the performance.. then change the sprocket combination... then find some mechanics knows about the SMX set up..

i don't know any mechanic who has a lot of experience about a SMX,
and those mechanics that i know has a lot of bad rumors surrounding them,
so basically i'm still in the "planning" stage.
and im still a huge noob when it comes to mcs. :(
sir, so far i did 100kph already w/ a backride, together i think we weigh around 97kgs (i'm 45 btw, 5'5" in height lol thin and short)
my odo that time is still 170-80 something.
maybe im just too excited about my mc, planning WAY ahead of time. :D
hope this site helps me in modding and taking care of my mc. TIA sirs. :)

i think that size and weight good for 14/42 sprocket combination.. the quickness of the bike will reveal though that combi.. but it the limiter of the engine is the problem. how ever you can change the CDI into Racing CDI and Racing Valve spring.. just enjoy your modding..

if ever i'll change my cdi sir, i'm eyeing on BRT hyperband coz rumor has it that its good for everyday use,
like using my mc daily as a service to work. they say that dual band is for racing in the tracks more or less.
question is, what if i change my stock CDI into an RCDI, do i have to change my battery also?
some said that if you change your stock CDI into a much powerful CDI, your battery will be harmed and your electricals will also be affected (lights, push starter, etc.)
is it true? :help: TIA. :D

i think if it is necessary to replace the battery, but as of my experience, i didn't replace my battery by using the RCDI..

its not really a must to replace your battery when changing from stock to rcdi..and the difference of a hyperband and a dualband is a hyberband plug and play no more modifications needed while in dualband same the thing is it has a switch, when you turn it on you have no limiter in rpm and when turned off its like your using your stock cdi..hope it helps sorry for the bad english

the sense of just changing from cdi to RCDI does not increase the fuel consumption..but changing cdi to rcdi increase the maximum rpm your snipey could get..so it means the higher rpm the more fuel burn..

and the best to pair it with a stiffer valve spring to maximize the power of both..

hope it helps..:thumbsup:

im a bit confused, lol. :D
in laymen's term,
RCDI = more fuel burn
more fuel burn = higher fuel consumption??
am i getting it right sir? :help:
from my last estimate, 4 liters (full tank) = 200 in my odo
so basic math is 1 liter = 50 kms
is it possible that my full tank will just go 180 kms if i change my cdi to rcdi?
please do guide me,
i'm new to mcs. thanks a lot. :)
