So who here is starting to realize they spent entirely too much in winter parts? I started looking through my receipts and realized I still haven't sent my suspension away yet. Yikes! Atleast the bike is going to run as good as it looks in the end.

i spent about $1400 alot of money now that i think about it. but i know you guys had put way more than that into your machines. mine only includes new dasa ,revalved fron shocks(used), hi comp piston, intake cam,a avs cluch lever(used). and a couple bearings seals and chainand sprockets.
all that adds up quick

I'm around the $1500 range and still need my suspension done. Also looking into some big bars too. I might save some coin and just get the replacement bar mounts.

One thing ive learned over the years of racing . you got to get it to handle,so you can put the power to it. my son has put a stock 300 ex on the podium,in the gncc morning race.with all the money in supension ...mx is pretymuch the same.

I have spent $6500 since the 1st of the year... at my current job I make $3500 a year lol uh oh. Good thing for backup items to sell. I have a 400ex just sitting and enough spare car parts to completely build another car with a bare stripped chassis.

Nothing yet butt sending my shocks out tomorrow and gotta get a new set of rear tires. Little under 1200, unless you count the trips to the indoors this winter.
