I have an 05' Roadstar Midnight.
What can I do to get more power out of it. I'd like to get more Horsepower/and over ll speed.
Thanks!

Pipes, ported manifold, airkit, and jetting.

Do the aftermarket ignition modules add anything as far as power (other than extending the redline)? Yamaha and Dynojet claim "hotter spark".

I put a Dyna 3000 on this summer and I can't say as I've noticed an big improvement. Any performance increase that I may have gotten has been small and could easily be attributed to ..... I paid big money so it must be better .... school of thinking. 
But raising the rev limit on a 1600 has been beneficial.

My experience over the years has taught me that the only way to get a real noticeable increase in power is to get into the engine itself, something I don't want to do. Seems the folks with the most problems have done this. A friend owns an Electra Glide built out to a 103ci with all the major goodies--cams, pistons, etc. This bike will snap your head back when you goose it. However, we went riding the other day, stopped at the local biker bar and were talking about this subject. We both had test ridden the Roadliner a while back and we still refer to it when the topic of power out of a v-twin comes up. It is an amazing machine in that aspect. We both have owned our bikes for a couple of years. When we bought them the power was plenty. They still are powerful but of course we want more now. At some point you gotta say "This is a lot of power, I guess I'm just used to it". I have a feeling if we both bought Liners we would have the same conversation in two years again.  |

As an old drag racer there is no such thing as too much horsepower. However, there are motorcycles that have more ability than the rider!  |
