Well, if your going to do all of these, the first thing you'll need is some cool graphics. :)

Go run an enduro with your bike as is, then get back to us.

I'd suggest Enduro/Harescramble/Cross-country racing. As for what you'll need, barkbusters and (for enduros only) a computer thing for time-keeping and roll-chart holder. I race my bone stock XR200R in harescrambles and cross-country races, the only thing I've added is barkbusters. Sure, there's other things that might be nice, but race entry fees and travel expenses add up.

The most important thing you'll need is some good armor. Hand guards, pipe guard, radiator guards/braces, skid plate. If you've never raced, your bike is going to be plenty fast. Maybe a pipe though if yours is still stock.

That all sounds like good stuff. The pipe is what you need though. Check out the sticky at the top of this forum for which one to get. That will make the biggest difference in you speed, torque, "quickness your looking for. DR magazine said that the stock silencer is fine with a good pipe. Most people go ahead and get the one you looking at anyway.

on the KDX site, they tell you a way to make a....sleeper pipe? is that what its called? but anyways, i guess some people think its better than an FMF, it sounds kinda difficult to make though
