Hello, I just bought my first used dirt bike. What should I upgrade and fix? It's a 2015 WR250R and I appreciate any suggestions on upgrades and parts. I will do videos of all of the upgrades. All tips and comments are very much appreciated! This looks like a fantastic forum and I will definitely do my research here as well.
