really all you need is a set of nerfs and a good kill chord....( i reccomend pro design but it is up to you )

a good set of shocks wouldn't hurt but your getting into a good biut of money there and widening it doesen't huet either but i'd get shocks first...it is 80% rider 20% quad in my opinion....if you have any more ?'s just lemme know toby

u could put spacers on ur axle for under 100$ and but u take a chance of bending ur axle... u will need nerfs, teather, numbers, and head light covers so buy those 1st... then save up for a axle or even 18 inch tires on the rear and 19 up front... Tommy

how much difference does the tire size matter? what would you recommend as far a piston and cam? stock bore for the piston.

Yeah like everyone else said all you NEED to race motocross is a tether kill switch, nerf bars, numbers, and headlight covers. All the other parts are just for luxury and a hole in your wallet.

As far as the kill switch I had a magura and couldn't figure out why it was blowing my fuse everytime it killed the bike. Well I soon found out that the kill switch was designed for bikes without batteries. So I went out and got myself a pro design tether kill and it is 100 times better, I highly reccomend a pro design tether kill.
