All- let me simplify this.. If your rear spoiler is loose, and makes that annoying squeaking sound (like mine did for 2 years). Open the back trunk lift gate, on each side at the top is a black rubber grommet, remove it, with a 10mm socket and wrench (use a short extension) TIGHTEN the 10mm nut, reattach rubber grommet. Took me 5 minutes to do both nuts after I figured the above out...

I have the 2021 model. Got the skid plate, bigger DMO pegs, precision motorcycle rear rack and about to put the M35 top box on it. I don't think the top box will be too big and plus I'm making detachable. At about 595 miles so far and this weekend after the last 5 miles doing its first oil change at 600. The XT 250 is a really nice bike and I'm enjoying it.

Have to chuckle since I'm 5'7" and employed all your mods except for the shift lever. And they all were worthwhile.. You can add a bit of fork oil and or change it out with a thicker oil to help the front. Not much you can do for the rear except crank the spring. Or spend a lot to change it out.. Another inexpensive one is a 14T sprocket which is the best bang for the buck ( IMO ) anyone could make.. roughly $ 20.00 when I bought mine last year from Ebay.. Fritz Co makes them.. No, I don't work or get anything from them, just trying to help out.
