[QUOTE="James, post: 64529, member: 2"] I have a post around here somewhere in where I went into greater detail on what yamadogyz said above. Basically graphics, big-bores, hot cams, engine work, aluminum sprockets, "trick" parts, etc.; don't do anything for the average guy except drain his pockets. Instead spend that money on your non-durable items (air/oil filters, oil, gas, tires, sprockets/chains, exhaust packing (:stirthepot: :P) etc.). Since you're planing on doing MX here's what I'd do. Figure out what your budget for a new bike is (lets just say $5,000). Take off $500-1000 for suspension work. Also another $500 to replace any broken parts and for a little cushion. So that would mean you have $3,500-4,000 for the actual bike. Now pick your favorite color and [B]buy a bike[/B]. :prof: Send your suspension out to get re-valved to your weight and skill level. Find the nearest track and go ride. :thumb: Oh and take pictures/video for us. :P [/QUOTE]
