Default Looking for more power.

2011, 103 Ultra Limited w/ Stage 1 complete. Suppose you had a grand and wanted to increase power. What would you do/add/change? I am just starting this, but you guys have provided ideas for other projects.

Ok guys... I was wondering about cams. So which would you recommend for an '11, 103?

If I upgrade my cams, is there a risk of hurting my other componets?

Can you replace/upgrade cams without changing anything else?

Check Fuelmoto site for cams, and perhaps a PowerVision tuner.

I have found after cams, I started wearing my tires out faster by constantly wanting to ride my bike.

So yes, cams hurt your tires

You shouldn't hurt other components, but I personally wouldn't change cams without also fitting a suitable tuner, to get the best out of the change.

That is funny!
Cams are the obvious choice. A less obvious choice would be to lighten the bike. Ever thought of a removable tour pack? Maybe taking off the lowers?
