Welcome to the the forum:) 6 ply tires and a set of handguards and skids would be nice also. just to start with.

your EX is an 05 right? you need a 13t sprocket to lower your gearing, stock is a 14. but for what you need, just some tires and skidplates like have already been suggested.

personally i would get a set of peps or axis on there atleast on the front the back shocks you can adjust pretty nice but front shocks in the woods are very nice
