If you ride in the rocks alot, get tires like Holeshot XC's with the rimguard. I beat my wheels up pretty bad in a few months running the stock tires.:(

Stock setup works great for some. I guess it depends on what kind of terrain you will ride or race on.
In my personal opinion, I would go for tires with more plies over the aftermarket shocks. My reason is that if you get shocks, then blow out a tire, will you be without an atv until you get enough money for tires?
I try to get my atv as "bullet proof" as possible. I too love to ride, but if I get a flat... I am one unhappy BLEEP BLEEP.:D
Good luck!:)

Good luck!:) Its worth the risk...get those works with no rezzies...you;ll be so happy you did....stock back tires may wear down fast but I've heard from quite a few racers they work very well. Mine had only 10% tread left when I bought my 400ex so I never really got to see them do what they do. get the works...good luck
