First bike I've purchased on my own... After months of racking my head between the FX and XCF I pulled trigger after getting a deal I couldn't pass up. Couldn't be happier. Unfortunately it's 110 degrees outside and haven't been able to ride except for rips around my neighborhood. First mods are bar risers and a skid plate. Maybe exhaust? Any other suggestions?

Nice, congrats! Of course some douche has to give you a thumbs down for a new bike. Never mind the mods-just get out and ride that bad boy! Enjoy.

Yeah first bike you have bought on your own and a thumbs down!

Congratulations now stop typing and put your helmet on, enjoy that new feeling. Now being honest how many hours have you just sat in your garage looking at it?

More hours then whats on the bike! I check every night before I go to bed to make sure It's really there. I even started using my garage to enter my house instead of the front door.

Put a Kegerator and AC out there and you are good. Just ride that sweet ride until you are better than it. Then do mods.

Good deal.

I wouldn't mess with the exhaust. If you need bar risers, do that. At 5' 6" I don't need those!

What I did to my 150 was:

either folding levers or handguards
skid plate
goop or mousse in the tires
go ahead and lube the linkage while you're in the garage

Go riding.

On my 150, I did some more things but they don't apply to yours.

Ditch the bar risers. Spend your $ on suspension.

I use my garage as well to enter my house.
One day while walking through it, I said hello beautiful. My wife was also in the garage and said thanks. She looked over her shoulder and saw me looking at the bike..I still remember the “ARE YOU FN KIDDING ME?” She still brings that up from time to time. 😉
As mentioned suspension set up for your weight, ability and conditions first.
Congrats on the new bike.

Props on the new bike! She looks awesome. Can't understand who would 'thumbs down' a new scoot, except maybe those whom have succumbed to the sin of envy.

Either way, cheers on the family addition! LOL

Nice bike! Please tell me the grass/astro turf in the bottom right corner is for a mini outdoor living room with TV and recliner. My buddy did that on his concrete porch and its very comfortable on bare feet.

Unfortunately no. Samples for front yard, done with grass.

Why does 110 degrees keep you from riding?

Throw some plastic on it, buy a progressive fire/theft insurance Policy in her and then go ride the shit out of it.

hell yeah bro, nice purchase! my '19 450XCF is fucking amazing, can't say enough good about it

definitely send your ECU to Twisted Development, biggest improvement you can make on the near perfect machine. the stock motor is a bit flat and just doesn't have that "WOW" factor. the TD tuned ECU is a game changer.

Great bike, good purchase. It doesn'tWink need mods, none do. Do a few hours on it as it is and you will get comfortable.

Thanks for that bro, I've actually found the motor lack luster on the bottom end, even in Map 2.

Nice bike !! As everyone has said , SUSPENSION , figure if you spend 10K , the manufacturer would get it right ?? I still don’t get that one. My 2019 350XC-F would not handle the braking and acceleration bumps regardless of my settings. Sent my stuff to TOO TECH and it was a night and day difference. Love to hear the wa,wa,wa,wa,wa of acceleration bumps and not feel it. Enjoy that machine !!!

I will do an update after I properly ride if for the first time. I've ridden KYB my whole life but I enjoy the floaty feel of the forks. I already am doing a rear spring from WP. I guess 200lbs is fatLaughing
