If your doing MX, getting all the chassis/suspension stuff first is the way to go. If you build the motor up first, the stock suspension won't be able to handle all that motor. But you can never have too much suspension.

I am going to back 54warrior up. Suspension is the way to go. You already have a little engine work. The FCR will make some difference, but not as much as a wider stance and better shocks. The day I rode my bike after I added my shocks, a-arms, and axle, I went into a state of awe. It was like I had a new bike.

Also, I did a lot of research on a-arms. I posted the info a couple of months back. Do a search and check it out. My oppinion is that the Houser Racing A-arms is best bang for your buck.

Ditto....always make the bike handle better before going faster. You may just find that with the upgraded chasis components, you may be able to go faster without a bunch of engine mods.

Then if your not happy...you may always spend more to go fast.

The best thing to do would build your quads chassis up first. Then when you are done start on the motor. I think you will be pleased because you will be going faster than you were before. Good Luck.
