Skid plate, radiator bracers, bark busters and you're good to go

Agree with bergerhag.Put in a JD jetting kit if you want to clean it up & see the full potential of the engine,& just ride it.

By radiator braces do you mean guards or actual braces?

Did you have your forks revalved? I've been running stockers so far. Bit firm and could use a few mms less oil in them but otherwise very predictable and compliant.

As everyone has said, these bikes don't need much at all.

Set suspension for your weight (sag etc.)
Rad braces/guards/Bash plate/Pipe Guard
Rejet for elevation and conditions (especially if stock)

Then down the track consider head work with first top end and suspension revalve once broken in and evaluated.

I would also say the RB mods are a must.

Talking

On my 2010 ec300,

I have rejetted numerous times, landing at what I call near perfect.

I also have let out 20cc of oil from each fork leg. It took the forks nearly 20 hours of riding, half of it moto, for them to break in. The shock felt great to me out of the box.

I installed a set of YZ450 titanium footpegs.

This is the first bike I have had where I didn't rip the suspension apart or send it off.

Send the head and carb to RB Designs, send the forks to House of Horsepower or LTR put on a skid plate and let'r rip. I think the shocks are pretty good as they come. Radiator guards are nice, i dont use a pipe guard they cost as much as a new pipe. Hand guards are a must, I like Enduro Engineering.
