Front shocks and new front tires make it alot better.

i left out pipe, because the motor performs well in stock form.

what is listed is what i believe to be weak point on the bike.

**the rear tires are decent though**

stock front shocks are complete garbage. Alright not complete garbage but they only have 5 adjustments for preload and are seriously the bounciest things ever jump on a stock front end and hop of quickly it looks like the tires are going to come off the ground from the bounce. Stock tires arent that bad, chain and sprockets theres nothing wrong with, handlebars are fine unless your taller. I think the 1st thing to do is to protect your investment and yourself. Get atleast a swingarm skid plate and I recomend nerfbars. I know some are against them but I cant imagine trying to ride like I do without them.
