[QUOTE="dirt bike dave, post: 154872, member: 18302"] OZ - The stock pipe and silencer are very heavy and should be replaced. On mine, I modified an aftermarket KDX200 silencer to fit. Other little things you can do are remove the kickstand and remove one of the rear fender supports (if you take off both the fender will crack). You can make a lighter fender support out of sheets of aluminum - make a crescent shape that fits inside the rear fender. The bike will never be nimble w/out frame modifications, but you can make it turn a bit better by raising the fork tubes 10mm above the top of the triple clamp, shorten the chain and run rear wheel all the way forward in the adjsuters (may require a 13t countershaft), run negative pre-load on the front fork springs and experiment with less than 100mm of rear sag. BTW, the stock fork valving (too stiff on high speed compression) and springs (way too soft) are horrible. Fixing those things should be even higher priority than shaving the weight off. [/QUOTE]
