Hello from MO

Nice looking forum. Got my first ATV ('02 TRX 300EX) about a month or two ago. I'm not a big guy (5'8" 185lbs) so this 300 seemed perfect for first ATV. So far just riding the area out back of my home but got a trailer yesterday gonna go hit some places real soon. Just trail riding. No dunes or tracks.

Anyway, I have a few mods in mind wondering what you all think:

Nerf Bars
Full Body Skidplate
SuperTrapp ISD2 Quiet Series Full Exhaust
(maybe an HMF slip on instead of SuperTrapp)
K&N Air Filter
CDI Box

I really don't want to do any engine mods like cam, carb, porting, etc. What else should I add or change to this list if you have expert advice? Do I need to re-jet it and if so what sizes to get I would have no clue.

Peace!  

Dont dump money into that bike. your only going to get so much power from it and you wont get your money back when you sell it. You should get a bike that you wont run out of power and outgrow to dump money into. I would invest in a trx250r they are cheap on craigslist now that the 450rs came out. 250rs are very good haldlers and has a ton of power stock. you get get a really nice 1 for about $1800 to $2000  

or even a 400ex is good, you 'll find a big differnce between a 300ex and a 400ex  

they are right. with a 300 ex you are going to blow a bunch of money and then end up getting bored of it and wanting a 450. seeing as how it is your first atv you might beat it up mastering the art of riding. so i would not suggest blowing tons of cash on something your going to a. wreck, or b. get sick of. plus if you put an aftermarket exhaust on it, you WILL need to do carb upgrades too.
