Ya know, you hear the pros say often that people should upgrade the suspension before the motor. Few people (me included) actually do that. After seeing the mods I have done, the suspension and steering mods will make you a faster rider than more hp.
Granted everyone's skill and terrain is different but anyone can ride fast on a smooth straightaway and if that's what floats your boat, have a good time. Blazing down a tight, twisted, whooped out trail loaded with stumps or rocks, requires the proper suspension setup. The same with dunes, a setup for a tight twisty trail is not necessarily the best for sand runners. Since riders can vary from 150-300 pounds, the factory makes a generic setup. Yeah, it will get you from point A to B but it's a lot more fun doing it balls to the wall.
What order do you think the mods should be done by a newbie?
I will say:
1. Steering stabilizer
2. Shock rebuild to your specs
3. A-Arms
4. Big-3
5. +2 Throttle Body
6. Cam
7. Porting
8. Dyno Tune
9. Bore/stroke/dyno tune
