how long have you been riding? from some of your posts it seems like your new. Racin right off th ebat isnt the greatest idea for you and it can hurt other riders. but you need nefrs and a tether but then i would get suspension before motor mods.

suspension is the first thing you should do

for a-arms get gdh lt +3 they comewith tierods and brakelines i believe

for suspension get 400ex length elkas with however many adjustments you want

If your short on cash, don't worry about the race cut plastics, or the grab bar and the little stuff in your signature. Get the stuff that you think will make you faster. A lot of your time comes out of turns. Some +2's will work nice. An axle will keep you wide and you have a less chance of rolling out of a turn. Ive raced a full sesaon without a K&N or a precharger. I had nothing wrong with my stock one and I've still managed to win races.

Jrd is right. The most important thing on a tight budget is handling. As far as suspension goes since your a novice race Works shocks will get you by your 1st season (you won't spend alot,chances are you won't use them to there limits and most important you can get through a season and decide if you really want to race). There are plenty ofplaces to get used parts to at a reasonable price. Another important item is tires, rims aren't as important as your choice of rubber. As far as your motor goes cheap mods, jetkit, get rid of the airbox lid. You can also play with sprocket sizes for more out of corner acceleration. If you can out handle your opponet you've already beaten them.

I would probably get shocks, nerf bars, tether swich, tires, rear beadlocks, keep stock front wheels, pipe, uni air filter, and a larger main jet if needed

if ur planning on doing any serious trail riding later, im not sure how your trails are, but i wouldnt recommend making it any wider...stock width is too wide sometimes on the trails i ride, but im on a 400ex
