Cool Stage 4 upgrade to a 103 - worth it?

Hello,


I am considering doing the stage 4 upgrade to my 103, part # : 92500019.
Do you think the benefits are worth the cost? Thoughts welcome.

don't want to sound rude here but how many threads are you planning on starting about 103's when your last one about 110's had answers already?

do you want to keep your warranty? if so then you will probably be stuck with dealer only options, some dealers will warranty aftermarket parts and some will only warranty a factory parts build.

Take your mod money and buy gas. Get out and ride it.

Didn't expect anyone to be bothered how many threads I start - I was asking a slightly different and legitimate question in this one. Sorry if that bothers you...

IMHO the only reason to do any SE kit is before delivery of new bike to keep factory warrenty, if ya think ya have a chance at having a warrenty from the dealer or if ya don't do your own work and there is no good Indy within 150 miles or so. There are much better options in the aftermarket. Why don't ya let us know what your goal is?? I don't know what options ya have down under though??

Well......pretty sure you can make yourself happy doing an aftermarket cam, tuner and hollowing out the cat on your stock head pipe. And be cost effective.

Keep digging! You'll come up with the answer that works for you.

First of all if you want more HP and TQ ditch the dresser dual head pipes for Power Duals, that should probably get you 10&10 right there. No matter what you do to the engine those header pipes are TQ and HP killers.

Don't really have many Indie operators down under I'd trust. I really only have the dealer option realistically speaking. I think I'll stick with the dealer to be safe.
