What kind of mods are you allowed to do?

I have a 2013 Triumph Scrambler and have been looking at these mods:

These mods and performance upgrades are always fascinating to follow.

Yes, 65 bhp from a 900 lump wth four valves per cylinder is not outstanding. My 21 year old 900 Ducati pushes out 85.

One of my lads has a 2012 Thruxton and he tells me it’s all to do with the cams. Have a look at Techbikeparts.com.

“Roy” is a 2011 America. I installed the Triumph Twin Power Performance 1 kit (with ecu re-map) and a pair of Voodoo Dunstall Replica silencers and picked up, I reckon, about 10-15% Power and torque. Plus - no more chattering at low speeds. Head here: 865 EFI tune map 1, America & Speedmaster

Well, not remarkable stats, but there’s a lot of potential to tweak in that motor. That motor is built to mod. I agree cams can have a significant effect on a motor. I did some engine mods in my youth, cams, vavles and springs, polished and ported heads, and upgraded carburetor from a single to a two barrel on a car. Starting horsepower was around 65 and in the end somewhere over a hundred. I suspect much of the same approach will work on a motorcycle. The top is the easiest part to mod. Not sure it would need any additional work like upgrading pistons. I guess I would only do a bottom if the bearings needed replacing which would lead to evaluating the condition of the pistons. Which could end in new sleeves and larger pistons. Lot can be done if you have time and the money. It can be consuming hobby.

Side note, the base setup is pretty nice for those of us with less experience. I suspect those with racing backgrounds will want immediate mods.

Relatively simple mods on a Bonneville variant. Agree. Delete the airbox for sure at least on the carburetor models. There’s probably similar things to do one EFI models.
