most people use a 250R for freestyle.. light and has power when needed.

Now now don't get discouraged[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
In Huevos 5 there were rappies doing freestyle A-OK in the colorado scene. I'm pretty sure that thing had stock suspension. But anyways heres my lists of suggestions:
1) get all proper riding gear (boots, helmet, gloves, jersey , pants, knee guards braces, chest protector etc)
2) nerf bars, get some nerf bars before your foot slips off the peg and you end up with a mangled ankle/leg
3)handlebars (renthal, tag etc)
4) different tires the stockers aren't going to hold up to well after some abuse like QFMX (quad freestyle motocross)
5) extended Axle (durablue etc)
6) suspension, if you are doing prolonged QFMX I wouldn't count on your stock suspension holding up for long
get some elka shocks
7) extended a A-arms, you don't HAVE to do this but it would be a wise idea
8) and since you wanted light if you have the cash burning a hole in your pocket... a titanium frame![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]
9) ditch the stock exhaust and go with something lighter IE Yoshimura full comp titanium system, saves a couple pounds and adds power
And last but not least... DON'T GO OUTSIDE YOUR LIMITS!!!! if you do, you are bound to end up in the hospital with a broken something and a possibly totalled quad-------> start small then go bigger!

Doesnt seem worth it to cut a few pounds. Take the engine out, and go from there. That will take out about 140 pounds [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

those titainium frames weight nothing tho.. about 18 pounds... i think.
ya they had raptors in #5... but they also had 250r's which would be better, lighter is better.. then it dont hurt as much when it lands on ya!
