    Hey guy, brand new off roader here... I've been riding street bikes for 14 years and I'm looking forward to being a complete newbie once again. I just picked up a 2013 te449 that was still brand new at a dealer near me. Judging from what I read lurking around this site the essential mods seem to be an fmf pipe and then an Ecu flash and oil recirculater from the zip tie site. Anything else I should do to ensure the reliability of this bike?

    This looks like an awesome community and I'm excited to join it :) thanks guys!

    You seem to already know what you're doing. Congrats on an awesome bike! TC449 was the dirt bike i had ridden after years of street. Still my favorite bike. If you ever plan to do suspension zip ty is the go to place around here, especially for those 449/511's.

    Thanks man! Yeah the suspension will probably have to wait till I rebuild some funds... I definitely want to make sure the motor reliability is taken care of straight away though
