My problem is the suspension is harsh
KXDINO hit it... rebuild the suspension, new bushings, seals, ect and get it sprung for your weight.
That will solve that issue...
I'd like to put an expensive Recluse clutch to make it more rider friendly.
If your doing a lot of lower speed technical riding the Rekluse is awesome.
If you are doing more desert or higher speed riding, not so much.
if I do all this will I be able to get my money back out of it if i need to?
Without all the parameters it's impossible for anyone to say.
The more you spend on the total project the harder it will be to get your money back.
Personally I build not with a eye to resale but simply, what I want to ride.
If it makes me smile when I twist the throttle then it's mission accomplished
