I'm not too mechanically inclined either, but I am learning : )

A simple upgrade that requires little to no skill is a front folding armrest if you don't have one already. You can find them starting at around $40 on ebay, but the bidding shoots up pretty quick in the last day or so. I got mine for $50, and I think it was worth every penny.

Also, I'm not sure how cold it gets in AZ, but you can probably tear out that thermostat in the air box, if it goes bad it will slowly bake your AMM. Just plug the inlet with a 2" rubber cap found at home depot by the PVC plumbing. I also removed the reduced end of the intake snorkel to help air flow.

CLEAN YOUR THROTTLE BODY IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY!

Good luck,

Justin
