more power with no bore?

Different filters, exhaust, and some tuning will get you little bit, but not really that much. If more power is what you're looking for, a big bore is the way to go. Or a different bike altogether.
Tune what you have to a "T." Make sure the setup that you HAVE couldn't possibly be any better. There are tons of threads about every aspect of the XS than can help you here. Use the search function...
but... There is no replacement for displacement
(too cliche?) nah

Performance and no money dont go together.
Increase displacement, a set of Mikuni vm's might help.
If you were that concerned with performance you should have bought a 4 cylinder.

Try using the iridium plugs

for an increase of .00000001 hp.
The only substitute for cubic inches is rectangular dollars........
xjwmx, yeah I never really look to increase power with anything I buy. If I want more power, I buy something that already has more power. Increasing power usually costs a lot of money and many times reduces reliability. 
Having said that, these turbo XS650 projects do look fun!

Coming soon I hope!
I was going to suggest that, over in you know where. I noticed somebody else requested it the other day. Time to join the 21st century! Such as it is.

fine, put in some 5w-20 car oil, that should be good for atleast 10,000 hp cause it's like the consistency of water.
Dont forget the iridium plugs....(as suggested by someone else)
might as well add some Edelbrock stickers too.
what other stupid HP mods can i add, might as well add as many shitty suggestions as i can cause those are the ones you seem interested in hearing versus the truth.

Well, we need a negative rep button, too.
Sinking78 gave you very good advice. Make it run as good as it can. Throw away some of the heavy crap. A well tuned xs is pretty snappy, really, if not a neck snapper.

gearing up will make it seem faster in the acceleration dept., up a tooth or two in the back, but you will lose highway ride ability.
yeah,we all need a balance of speed and acceleration,CDNT im not trying to be a smartass with you but it was just rude to come and insult a guy who was just trying to help me man
