Ok I have had my Rm for a few months now and I am a fairly good rider on it. I want to get into racing but before I do I want to improve my bike a bit. At the moment it is totally stock, so I would like ideas on what I can do to improve the bike overall and make me faster on it. (eg. parts, suspension,adjusting things etc. not just buying new parts.). I'm a bit of a newbie so I'm not quite sure where to start. Well actually I have started I bought Fat tapered bars and clamps and An N-style team sticker kit and gripper seat but thats just to Improve the look of the bike lol. Anyway any advice ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks BuLlY

ummm. without putting money to upgraes you cant really tune it that much. in fact unless you are a pro you cannot adjust it at all perfromane wise. you could tune the suspension and brake settings easily. if you want to race i would advise.....a full race exhaust, (the best are doma, then fmf, dep, bills, pro circuit and most of the the other aftermarket ones. upgrading the reeds to carbon ones (delta v-force,) upgrade the cdi unit to a wulf or fmf one. and change the sproket setup for the track styles. If the track is small with not that many long straights and a lot of corners i would advise a big rear cog. This will give beter acceleration and power but the topend will be reduced (and visa versa for big tracks with long straight and less corners). how this helps.

Make sure your suspension has got fresh oil, the bike has a fresh top end and you have good tires. Then go race and have fun, simple as that.
