Anything that saves weight and serves no other purpose. I love the look of titanium and the fun bells and whistles, but shaving weight off a bike is pretty useless unless you are really carrying the mail.
If Works Connection brake caps with personalized engraving is wrong, I don’t want to be right…..
To many to list, I’ve even been guilty of my share lol. One thing I haven’t been guilty of. Freakin VP 110 octane race fuel in a stock bike rated for 92 or 93.
Im not exactly on board with throwing graphics in here. I utilize graphics to promote for companies that help me. The bonus is they look cool! Im also guilty of engraved WC stuff just because its cool. I know it does nothing for me but its like $30. Lol

Unless you have an enduro model, then a slip on muffler is a necessity.
Well…you’re NOT supposed to use it for THAT!
Plastics to change the bike colour - and then putting SKDA graphics on them...
It's very specific but way too common.
I paid extra for the 'remove before flight' tag, and the tag blew off on the way to the track the first time.... boo
When I was a kid (14), I'd fill my 1974 Suz TM125 down-pipe with water, when I was washing the bike, then start it up and peg the throttle and see how far the water would squirt, the water never appeared to cause any ill effects, although Dad would be pissed about the oily water spray across the back of the house ;-)
I'm probably guilty of all of them. Rebuilding two of the same bikes as mid-life crisis projects. If it makes you happy, it's worth it. FYI, I am close to pulling the trigger on a hole shot device I don't need.
I love it when a guy 30 pounds over weight buys titanium bolts to save a few ounces!
Most underrated- new tyres.
Graphics with logos of companies who don’t support your racing.
Suspension work if you’re not going to maintain them properly.
Bending levers.
How's that?
Not quite as old school but remember roost boost?
Killer!
Pit Row
This. THIS EXACTLY.
And you'll appreciate every part of it.
Lovely looking Susan.
Building bikes is almost as fun as riding them, motocross is supposed to be fun.
Not arguing and definitely not singling you out bro, this always comes up and loads of people say it, but....
If a guy is 150lbs or 250lbs, both would benefit the same way by riding a lighter bike.
Could the heavier dude benefit additionally and more significantly by loosing weight himself? Yep, absolutely.
Does that mean lugging a lighter bike around is not a benefit for him? No.
Do we tell the heavy guy a lighter helmet is not worthwhile for him because he likes beer and barbecue?
I do agree all of these bikes are light and any weight saving probably makes sod all difference for most of us here though 😂
Stock enduro bikes are choked up
Guilty. 24 Justin is not as ready for the season as 23 Justin was 😞
Oh gotcha. I read that completely backwards, like they're a necessity on an mx bike. Durrrr
Try hard enduro without folding levers. My stock brake lever lasted half a day and my clutch lasted 2. I've now got 300 hours on one set of folding levers. Saved a hell of a lot of money over the years!
I've actually been killing it training through the winter. 5 days a week. Meanwhile I haven't touched my bike and I had all these grand plans of bringing it out during the down time. Oh well
Although the boost bottle was actually useful on certain engines that had inadequate crankcase volume affecting primary compression, and lots of early Yamahas had that problem. Damn I sound like an asshole, sorry.
This reminds me of when I started racing in 92. My dad started racing again (after quitting in 80). He enters 40+ Junior/Intermediate and smokes the only other rider. He comes over and is peeved that dad beat him, etc. Turns out he had moved up not because he was fast but because no one ever entered Jr/Int at that time, and he was getting beat in Beginner…
On the way home, I told dad “you watch, he’s the type that will show up next week with a pipe.” Sure as shit, guess who rolls out the next race with a brand-new PC pipe and silencer…
