I'm buying an 05 450r tomorrow. It has a pro circuit pipe, hrc kit, nerf bars, bumper, razr tires. What should my next performance mods be? I dont know what the best upgrades for the 450s are.

I used to have a ds650 a couple years ago, but im sure there is quite a bit of difference in the two.

I'll be mostly doing trail riding, however i plan on slowly getting into motocross and gncc hare scramble races.

 

buy a new pipe... +2 a arms +4 axle... new steering stem tag bars... steel braided lines...and you're set

 

whats the best pipe to go with?

 

i personally have a yosh pro series rs-7... i love yosh becuase i own a cbr900rr and i love the throatiness alot of pipes out there are really good and some like dmc alien are wicked loud... but i always yosh and fmf get what you think looks good... honeslty all pipes do about the same performance wise... you may have to rejet it but i highly doubt it... is the procircuit a full system or slip on... i just never liked procircuit... to me they ar ethe walmarts of pipes

 

ill find out what kind of pipe it is exactally today. im real excited about getting the bike. i have no idea how it will compare to the DS that i had but i hope its just as fun.

i did a little searching and it seamed like a lot of people liked the rossier pipe. so would that be worth replacing, or should i save a few hundred more and put big bore kit on instead?
