Where to start with poor performance

You really need to go out and ride it and document what RPM it is running or we're just grasping at straws. Currently we don't know if it's running at 7800 rpm or 8800 rpm, so any suggestions are purely guesses.
 

It is all red so that's good. I will do some test runs this weekend to see where the RPM is. And thanks again for all your help.
 
I was actually just checking that out. Thanks. I did notice prior to cleaning the spider didn't move real freely.
 
Srxspec mentioned 145hp. He must have taken into account your mods. Stock on the SRVipers is 130hp. I bought one when they first came out and have been disappointed with the performance ever since. I just bought a new sidewinder this year and wow! Give your wife the Viper as it's a good fit for that and get yourself a sidewinder, you won't be disappointed. Or add a turbo to the viper as mentioned which the 2014's & 2015's are the two years that are good for doing that on I believe.
 
Yeah I don't really have a sidewinder budget I got this cause it was 4500 bucks, low miles 66 year old owner and great shape and with the mods and elka suspension it's got nearly that in extras. This will get me through the best winter we've had up here in northern michigan in years, and maybe next year I'll find a suzuki 800 or maybe I'll grow to love this one after I forget how fast my F10 was. As long as I'm out riding.
