hey guys i want to set up my 06 for motocross.....i have some ideas of what i want but i want to get the best for my money. im starting off by buying tires and wheels, nerfs, kill switch, and inexpensive performance upgrades....whats the best tires and wheels and size? nerfs? kill swtich? i dont want to waste my money

tires- 18" rear 20" front although i run 19 fronts thats just me though.

nerfs- id go with either rath racing or pro armor i have ac's and am not impressed

killswitch- alba action has one for like 20 bucks or somthin like that but pro design is the one to get for about 35 bucks

18 inch rears with 8 inch rims

20 inch fronts with 10 inch rims

Pro design killswitch

Rath nerfs (expensive but worth every single penny), or AC, Stay away from brands like "Rock"

other inexpensive things you can do would be

Bumper
Handlebars
Hood
air filter
stabilizer

thanks for the help guys....my next purchase after nerfs will most mikely be an axle....what do you guys reccomend?

i recommend the g force its only 200 bucks and is surprisingly strong. i have landed countless times on one back wheel really hard and it has yet to bend or break. great axle imo.

chrome holds up nicely too.

is 1 kill switch much better than the other? I see people saying pro design but what makes it so good?

No but i haven't had any luck with pro design. i've been running pro armor and i haven't had any issues. pro armor is also cheaper.

Nerfs- Blingstar (might still be on sale)

Just thought this might help and the axle is lsr adjustable and here is a new picture of the shocks.

i wouldnt forget a stabilizer. it does make a difference. though some are pricey. i bought a ccp rotary stabilizer for around 170 for my r and it looks good. i havent tried it yet but others say its a better than a stick type. im sure its not as good as the precision or elka systems though but its cheaper.
