[lilwitting]

I would make sure you buy a good aftermarket belly skid and swingarm skid first, nerf bars, and kill switch. Then all my money would go too suspension, at least a set of works performance shocks all the way around before I spent a dime on the motor. That's just my opinion, someone else may tell you to do tires after the skids which is another option. Anyone that tells you to spend your mod money for xc racing on your motor first, just look at em like this :huh

Yea but if your crappy stock swingarm skid falls off and you have a broke/warped rear rotor or sproket elkas isn't gunna help ya there.

i agree, especially with endurance style races, suspension is key !

You're going to wear yourself out prematurely. You also won't be able to hit the rough stuff nearly as fast which will cost you valuable minutes over the length of the course.

considering these guys are new to racing, they do not need new shocks quite yet. they need to get out there and experience the race first hand, then decide from there on which parts would help them the most. there are tons of people racing XC with stock suspension.

dont mod it yet untill youhave raced a few time you dont need to win!!! just go race and see what its like. its alot diff. than you would imagine.get used to it before you start pushin too hard
