You can start with a full aftermarket exhaust, score something off ebay. Then you can have someone re-jet it for that exhaust, which isn't too difficult. Putting better air filters on will also help considerably. IDK man, sounds doable to me for not much money, assuming you can do the work yourself and find an exhaust cheap.

Cheap or not, do you think it would make appreciable gains? (Greater than 3-5%)
Unless it's an insurance restriction (or liscencing issue) there's no replacement for displacement.

Yep you can probably go from 58 hp up to about 63

Only cost a few thousand...

Similar money and best bang for buck spend the same on a 900 or 1000 motor.. Up to about 85- 90 hp.. But torque will be like a slap in the face with a wet fish

A lot of people don't have the wherewithal to purchase a new motor (or bike) and install it. They also don't need MUCH more power, they're just looking for something more snappy in response and a bit more fun to ride. Aftermarket exhausts, fueling modifications and even less constrictive air filters, these things do help and at minimal cost as well.

One minor correction, it's an 01' which is EFI. My bad! ;)

So, how do you do the re-jetting?

This was the point of my query. An EFI tune with upgraded exhaust and intakes will only net 1-2hp. While the 'snappiness' might make it seem like more. But with an entry level model, and one that is 14 years old, best upgrade is a newer, bigger model. The price difference will be negligible compared with spending $$ on upgrades. And let's face it, an M600 is great, but won't ever be like a newer model.

Step 1: Sell M600
Step 2: Buy M1100
Step 3: Profit!

45 mm throttle bodies and new injectors

Plus he corrected himself suggesting it was his mistake not picking up the efi part.

Tell me.... What more would you require for an answer. If it was retro edited you would complain and cry foul.. He admits the error and you still complain.

Fwiw I thought the 620 was the first baby efi motor, had not seen an efi 600

adjective
1.
Also, epidemical. (of a disease) affecting many persons at the same time, and spreading from person to person in a locality where the disease is not permanently prevalent.
2.
extremely prevalent; widespread.

Isn't it more limited? I mean in balance its just one person and his fan clubs both pro and against?

Only agree a little because sometimes I agree with bob and his fanboys


Maybe he meant endemic ...
