In my mind all that bike needs is the right jetting and a shock spring suitable for your weight (if stock isn't right). Anything else is personalizing it like handguards, steering dampner (I don't...

Used is good - I ended up with my KLX not because I wanted a KLX but because I liked the price for a little used dual sport.

To raise it properly you need to provide lots of love and support, but you can't skimp on discipline - consistency is the key. Also, start a college savings account. :amazon

I had a drz-s which I understand is the same motor as the sm - it was sloooooooow. I traded it for a used 450 exc - its much faster, weighs 50 pounds less, and has a 6th gear. Good luck.
