They are right !!! The exhaust studs fracture because they heat cycle too many times so You'll have to dump the cat. You really need to port the head. The factory carb can't be tuned finally enough with the jet selection so it's got to go, buy a replacement. Parts are laughable cheap. I paid more for a single brake lever 20yrs ago the the Whole assembly costs now.
My bro is fixing his 96 XR, just to marginally run he's 1-1/2 the cost of my hawk.... To trail ride.
Some of the hardware can and needs to be upgraded. Hey it's a bike built almost entirely of aftermarket sub components. So if you find shortcomings fix it.
If you want plug-and-play plop the cash down and buy a Jap bike. OR save 4K-6k and wrench it your self. When your done you will know the bike well. What better to do in the winter break.
Searously port the head and dump the cat.
