Have you ever used an aftermarket part or a company's service that the first time you rode your bike, you broke down into absolute bliss from the great decision you just made?
I recall two moments with my Yamaha:
When I decided to switch from RC High bars to a Windham with +10mm spacers.
The second was when I got my revalved internals back from Enzo racing over a year ago.
Just how much pain it took out of my back and how great everything felt. It was literally a mind blowing experience, like having a whole new bike.
I guess to summarize, the best thing you've ever done to your bike to make it a better ride, or that made the bike react positively in a completely new way?

Close second was getting my bike sprung for my weight and my ecu remapped from tokyo mods.
Also proper jetting on my 250 riding back to back at the track from stock to correct.
Had a serious harshness over small chop that made me super uncomfortable. After getting the forks and shock back it was buttery smooth.
Pit Row
Putting 2019 YZ450 lower fork tubes with lugs and spacers on my 2016 YZ450.
Completely different motorcycle.
I actually love the bike now.
Oh and ARC clutch levers so my short fingers can reach them. It’s amazing how much easier it is to control the bike when you’re not over-reaching for a brake and or clutch lever.
Other than that, I would say the Rekluse Core EXP and the Kawasaki hand held tuner. Tuning the ECU made a HUGE difference.
