I have a RMZ 250 that I’m currently building . So far all I’ve done is bought stuff to make it look better . So my question is for performance modifications what should my first step be ? I was looking into a FMF header and muffler but I keep reading that you won’t see much of a difference . So I guess my question is what other modifications do I need to do to get some sort of power increase ?

You want a good suspension set up for your size and riding style.

How do I go about adjusting suspension or is there aftermarket parts for that ?

I’ll look into the clutch. But is the fmf system alone give you noticeable power . I don’t want to spend 800 and not notice hahah

I do not know too much about bikes. I haven’t been in the motocross world since I was like 12 . I’m now 24 and just getting back into racing. I’ve had street bikes that I did some work on, But I do have a maintenance background. I’m a helicopter engine mechanic in the army and I’ve went to school for automotive. So I know my way around an engine, just haven’t messed with small engines or dirtbikes for awhile .

If you want more power out of a 250, buy a 450. Problem solved.

Honestly I think you could save money by just buying the slip on and leaving the header stock and make power similar gains.

Had anyone used the vortex ECU ? So I guess my question is once the ecu is plugged in what happens with the SHAC ( Suzuki holeshot assist control) ? Do I unplug from the bike and the vortex takes over ? And is the vortex really as easy as plug and play ? I’ve looked for videos and articles all over but can’t seem to find anything for RMZ250 and the vortex ECU
