Guess what I did last week??  Put a Yoshi RS1 slip on and mid pipe on my 1200S.  WOW!  Takes off like a rocket and then feels like it hits a new power curve when it reaches 4500 rpm and blasts off again--WOW!  Thinking of adding a K&N filter then rejetting later on.  Good ideas don't you think? :motorsmile:

Don't put a K&N filter in unless you rejet!
You're already on the lean side. Put a jet kit in and you'll get another shot in the arm!  :bigok:

Is that hard to do Paul, or anyone else who would like to chime in??

Not hard at all. The biggest pain is hooking the throttle cables back up.

You will need a drill and a small bit to remove the EPA plugs, and care is needed so you don't damage the screws hiding underneath. But the jet kits come with good directions.
