I just read the stickied thread above and it doesn't really seem to match the title... seems more like a product ad thread than a set up recommendation 
Anyway, here's my list of recommendations:
Anyway, here's my list of recommendations:
- A good soft compound front tire
- A good chain and sprockets, preferably larger than stock
- An easy pull clutch lever
- Good set of stock rear brake pads (OEM preferred)
- High quality, high temperature brake fluid
- Crash Cage
- 12 bar
- Increase rebound on forks (turn hex on top of forks clockwise - make sure both sides are even)
- Set dampening on front forks and rear shock to 90% hard (all the way and then back off a little - there are two adjustments - one on top and one at the bottom of each shock)
- Idle adjuster
- Shorter or shortened exhaust for bikes without undertail exhaust
- Bypass the tip-over sensor
- Do the PAIR mod
- Oli pickup mod if available
- Overfill your oil some...usually to the top of the site glass
- Replace coolant with Evans, Liquid Performance or Engine Ice
- Wire cooling fan to turn on with ignition or to a switch
- Hand brake system
- Aftermarket upper stay (if full fairing)
- Aftermarket clip ons, turn out clip ons, flip clip ons, or add dirtbike bars
- Billet rearsets are much stronger and less likely to break
- Steel Braided front brake lines
- Steering Stabilizeer
- Dented Gas Tank with some sort of traction
- Replace fork springs with stiffer spring rate and/or heavier weight fork fluid and/or revalve forks
- Add a subcage/subframe reinforcement
- Add pegs to front and rear axles
- Adjustable levers
