I would suggest not putting money into a ttr, its still going to be, well a ttr. Even if you make it faster it will still have the same suspension, id recomend selling it and geting a used 250, the difference will be night and day.
Even with added stuff like handguards,tailbag,gps mount,bars & grips..I've got less than 2 grand in it and Its been a great woodsbike. I've heard lots of guys say "dont bother...get something else", but the mods alone cost under $150. including tires! Dont bother with a pipe, too much $$ for what little improvement you'll get, but absolutely do the airbox/jetting/gearing mods! 1st gear (stock) is worthless and the throttle reponse improvement is night/day. Stick with the jets (part#) they list, I've talked with guys who tried other jets and wound up using what was suggested. Save yourself the time.
The biggest downfall on this bike is suspension. As I get more aggresive, that is becoming a problem and theres not much you can do about it. Its possible to swap the front end with the YZ inverted setup, but it takes some skill and a $400-500 investment. Thats where I draw the line. I'm looking for a clean WR.
The 230 is no motocrosser, no doubt. But thats not what it was built for.

if after all that you are still feeling frisky Get a Big Bore done, but even with a small over bore you will have to have the cases machined.
