The whole exhaust would be replaced (getting rid of the cat), lighter headlight and tail light assemblies, lithium battery,lose the rack grab handles, aluminum bars, swap the turn signals for the tiny ones, lose the entire air box for a pod filter, lighter tires, take out the stock gauge cluster and put in a vapor or something similar, ditch the chain guard and countershaft cover if possible. At this point I'd question what the heck I just did to my bike and why I just spent another 25% over the bike's cost for a minimal weight reduction on an overweight bike. Seriously, just enjoy the bike for what it is. At that price point and owner support here, it's hard to go wrong.

Well I ask because the CRF250L has the same hp starting out. I know we do not hove the egk option but I am curious. I love the boke, dont get me wrong...just wondering about the HP gain on exhaust airbox mod and jetting. seems like that would be a good 7 just in that.
