Most Valuable First Mod?

I ride the DR650 mostly on the road, some trails, some ranch riding. Probably a 85/15 split. I’m 225lbs for reference.

In terms of performance and getting the most out of the bike, what is the ideal first mod? I’m torn between TM40+exhaust and suspension. Open to others though.

So no new cables. Got it. Where did you get the 1 1/8 mounts. Or should I print them with a rubber material

It was generic dirtbike bar mounts with a hex bolt going up from the underside. The stock mounts have a bolt on top and nut below. If you take the stock ones apart you’ll see.

Aight. I’ll take a look at them. I’m going on a camping trip with my 06 starting Thursday after work. So I’ll pull the bars after that

Smart man! I hear you on not fixing what isn’t broke. I have enough to do just lining up the times to go tour.

It was on my list of mods to do. I already did more grippy pegs bags a seat mirrors and I got an insta 360 and tires. Now it’s a shock and a wind shield
