I recently got some great feedback on clip ons and decided to make a similar thread about the bazzaz fuel injector I am thinking about purchasing. I was originally set (from an economic standpoint) to make the jump to a gsxr600, but life takes its turns and that purchase has been postponed long term. I can scrap funds for a bazzaz injector though, but was wondering what people who have one think? Worth the $300? I mainly just use the bike for canyon running now (was orignally for commuting, again, life takes it turns) and just hate that lack of pull. Its so weak it messes your line and when things go uphill you cant depend on your momentum or the engine pulling you up. So, bazzaz $300, will it really help? Thanks mates.
I've never used one. I've read a bit on here about them as I was interested too, for what it's worth. It seems like you'd get a small, but noticeable boost. It sounds like you might get used to it right away because it's not that much of a difference. And you need to add a full exhaust system while you're at it to make it worthwhile. So, figure about a grand in total and a bunch of your time. If you love your 250 to bits, maybe it's worth it. I'm saving the cash for my next bike. A bigger bike. A wasted a tonne of cash on my Ruckus trying to squeeze out a bit more oomph from it's 49cc engine. In the end, you need more displacement. Honda has already done a great job getting power out of the CBR engine. If you try to get more out of it, you might sacrifice reliability.

Very good point on the exhaust, which I forgot to mention I already have. So my total cost would be $300. As much as Im not fond of the loudness, I slapped a silencer on it and cant justify switching back to stock.
The plan very much was to upgrade, but I cant stand the slowness of the bike now since I only do canyon runs with it. I initially bought it for commuting and commuted with it daily for the better part of the last year. It would hold me out until I could afford the upgrade, where I would keep both one for the weekends and one for the commutes.
Its a fun bike in the twists, but its down-right pathetic on some twists. On ACH past newcombs where the elevation is 4-8k, the bike cant even go downhill fast without suffering from the thinned air.
Naturally you dont want to deck this bike out since it has way more lacking in performance area other than just speed: suspension, forks, breaks, ergos, etc. It would cost less to buy a brand new 600. But I cant even hit some canyons with it. Its actually MORE dangerous in these canyons where it cant pull, as you lose so much speed your forced to straighten her out and run wide. Its hard to predict which twist you will all of a sudden lose 5mph on.

Charging turns will cost you speed. Sounds like a DR as well
not worth it bro.. i know you will need bazzaz if you make ur exhaust a full system. even with a full exhaust and bazzaz, you still wont get the torque that you want like on a 600cc. i have an r6 so i know what you are looking for.
<------------ she's mine I guess I am a fool also? (The painter nick named her O.C.C/J.P.D)
These bikes a cheap to buy so do what you want with YOUR bike.
Modifying a bike to make it yours is fine. People who get on the highway and think, "if I get mod 'x' this bike will magically have the power to go as fast as I want" are kidding themselves. I like mods. L2r's ride comes to mind as one of my favorites. Yachting1 also has a badass setup. The OP is complaining about lack of pull and hills. Anything besides forced induction will fall short. Even then... who knows.
Didn't mean to offend you or anyone else. Buying a fast bike is the cheapest way to get a fast bike.
