Upgrading a 2003 250ex...what should i do
I bought my 250ex a little over a year ago, & enjoy every moment on it. I got it so i'd have something to knock around the neighborhood on. But I am having way too much fun...but would like to make some performance upgrades.
I have limited mechanical knowledge, to go along with a limited budget. I want the most bang for my buck...but dont know where to put my $$$.
Should i go with some aftermarket tires, exhaust, filter, etc.?
I'm leaning towards an exhaust, but am having trouble finding a manufacturer. Any ideas?

Here is what I did to ours:
DG Nerf Bars.
Maier plastic (light) skid plate.
ITP Holeshot XC tires, on ITP rims (we ride mostly dry desert). The rims have a greater offset, and make the bike 3" wider in back and 2" in front. Nice increase in stability (the balooney stock tires make the bike a little tippy and make it "push" a little in turns).
Vented airbox lid (UNI round vents), UNI foam air filter (gets rid of that restrictive stock wire insert) and an FMF MegaMax II muffler (8 discs + the quiet core), and a rejet. Perks the little engine up quite a bit!
TAG metals X-5 handlebars.
