Hey guys, I've been racing for a number of years but always with the older carb model bikes. I finally went out and bought a new 2017 YFZ450R, deciding it was time to upgrade to the EFI.
I want to start building it up for XC racing but was curious what everyone thought of the most essential mods to begin with? I already bought a Fuel Customs intake and next on the list is a full FMF exhaust, Houser Pro Bounce nerf bars and some kind of tuner but not sure what to get. There's a great shop locally here in Miami that I am going to send it to so they can tune it.
From there I'll need to look at what to get for long travel suspension and shorter a-arms/axle and small stuff like handlebars, graphics, skid plates, etc. I had good luck with the ARS-FX a-arms so I might stick with those. Anything else I should look into getting?
