Default nos or a bigger engine

i have a 2000 kawi zx6r. it has an 05 motor in it. i was wondering if i should build the lower end and put a bottle on the bike or should i just try to swap the engine with a 750. if i build the lower end what should i use. the only kit i found was wiseco for 600.00. help me out guys tell me what to do. i dont want to get rid of the bike either. already to much into it.

What do you use it for?

NOS is only useful for drag racing, as the bottle is very soon emptied.

If you use it as a road bike and want more power, the only sensible answer is to swap it for a more powerful bike.

yeah bro, nos will cost you tonnes more in the end and its not always on. go for the 750 swap. wish i could help on wich kit to use but i never worked on a streetbike before (sadly) so i dunno what to suggest there

You can still do a lot. First put the bike on a diet. Look for wheels, exhaust. The less weight it has to move the faster it will be. Get high compression pistons, have some head work done. Those kinds of mods are far more reliable that NOS.

750 will change the weight a lot more then NOS, obviously. depends on how much money you want to spend.

keep the 6r for the street and buy another bike like the zx7 or bigger for the strip. I am not a big fan of NOs
