What do you NEED? I do rearsets first because I hate the folding pegs and I need adjustability. Do mods that enhance the bikes performance and functionality, then worry about looks.

if your a new rider, you won't probably need an upgrade in performance just yet, so id go with the undertail....

if your a seasoned rider and are scraping pegs all the time, id upgrade and get rearsets.

Is the maintenance current? Oil, brakes, coolant, air filter, tires, and anything else that could go bad on the bike? I know its not fun but maintenance should come before anything. If the maintenance is up to date then an undertail wouldnt be a bad choice. Aftermarket blinkers would be good too.

1. Maintenance (no sense dropping money in a bike that is barely rideable)
2. Undertail (cleans the bike up)
3. Framesliders (protects your investment).
4. Headlight upgrades (increases nighttime visibility, and makes you more visible to other drivers)

but before doing step 2, or anything beyond just making the bike rideable, you need to invest in personal protection. The bike is just plastic, metal, and rubber that can be replaced and should be insured. You, however, cannot be replaced, and it takes alot longer for the body to repair itself. Helmet, jacket, gloves, and boots should be your first line of defense. You can go further with a back protector, kneegaurds, and riding pants and still be fashionable and comfortable.

Thanks for the responses well I got all the protection down and also the maintenance but might need a clutch soon can somebody tell me a list of around what mileage the maintenance should be done for everything such as for sparkplugs change, fuel filter stuff like that.

Where can I get some strong light bulbs to see better at night?

I wanted to get the small stuff because the total of all those things came out to be $50 in d2moto.com so it doesnt hurt my wallet that much.
But I really need some brighter bulbs.
