Christmas self-spending

[courts]

Its that time of year, time to spend a lot of money on others, f/a on yourself, but when you can what is the best mod or extra you can buy to increase your confidence/speed as a rider??(aside from auto slip clutches and parts no bastard can afford). Wisdom pls...

No contest,suspension.

i agree, get your suspention set up for your weight and type of riding. it realy does make a HUGE difference when your cornering and comming off a jump.

My $0.02c worth, Training with Broxy/Cotter/Birch/MXDK pick your poison, followed by suspension :).

I was going to say training. Want to come along with the group I'm sorting? Looking to go in Jan, but January is filling up fast!

Who's the trainer?

Could be keen. Just watched 2007 Romaniacs Enduro. He came across as a real nice guy with some wicked skills.

Won't help, it'll still handle like a bloated whale on a MX track.

Shit no. You need that extra weight to help it dig in on the corners. I've been studying this. I reckon you MX fellers have got it all wrong with these light, underpowered bikes.

You went halfway there with the motards with road tyres. Now you need to go all the way with some decent weight and power. <_<

For bolt-on bits, suspension tune (re-spring & re-valve).

Thats the ticket- Have done both suspension recently and training thru MXDK awhile ago which was really worthwhile.Whats the consensus on steering dampers or a performance mod eg. exhaust for a 4t?

personally id go for the shiny new boots, riding gear and helmet, you;ll be suprised how much faster you;ll go in it!

WR250's love YZ muffler & FMF Mega Bomb, mates got that setup & it goes real nice.

Or keep going after knocks in the case of body armour / knee pads & good quality boots :)
