I have just fitted Symtec heated grip pads and they are great, especially with the extra cold weather!

There are many ways to go about upgrading but i like to start with the basics. I see you do not have frame protectors added to your list so maybe these are an option?

Your TTR was obvioulsy well loved to have been kitted out so well biggrin

+1 on the Symtecs and frame guards.

If you are tall(ish) then you may consider higher bars, and/or handlebar spacers, to make it easier (and more comfortable) to get up on the pegs in the rough stuff. Also they make it more comfortable going down steep stuff as your nose is less likely to be bumping on the front mudguard wink

To go with the Motad, what about a good after-market air filter such as a Twin Air?

An Iridium spark plug and magnetic sump plug might be cost effective tweaks.

If you don't already I think a spare set of wheels is always worth while if you can pick them up at a decent price. When I had my first ttr I had Avon distanzia road / trail tyres on one set and ac10 enduros on the others then I could switch between them in about ten mins.

K&N filter, shorty header pipe, FMF can, rejet and Ohlins rear shock.

It's had the switch mod done as well. Soon to have the electronic speedo replaced with an analog one due to the price of replacement magnets/pickups.

Cool stuff. does the shorty header make much difference ?

Not sure about the shorty on its own, as it's always been fitted with the FMF w/re-jet. But when combined with the rest of those mods it adds quite a bit more grunt throughout the rev range... Oh and it sounds the mutts nutts.

 Always interested in suspension options, do you know what model Ohlins? Direct fit or modded?

I don't know what the model is, sorry. It's not quite a direct fit as the reservoir is fixed, and is located where the battery box is supposed to be. The battery box had to be removed to accomodate the reservoir.

I wonder if its a WR/YZ shock as they are fixed reservoir? Something that was already on the bike when you got it?

From my comparing of photos & parts diagrams, I think the WR/YZ shock is very close in length.  The TTR & WR use a similar linkages, but are installed opposite from each other. Where the two-arm link is connected the the swing arm on the TTR, it is connected to the frame on the WR/YZ.

Yeah it was on the bike when I got it. It makes the bike sit slightly lower than stock, but the ride is perfect. I have never ridden anything more comfortable and smooth offroad. Although I would like a little more travel for jumps.
