Yesterday I tested some small mods: Yamaha kicker, Rain/Shine switch and new bars.
Yamaha YZ250F kick start lever and a rain/shine switch.
The kickstart fits nicely, and is easier to use than the GG one since its a bit longer. The risk of ruining my right boot when hitting the footpeg is also smaller since the Yamaha version swings out further.
I placed the rain/shine switch on the cooler hose as can be seen in the picture. However, I can't really say I notice much difference. I didn't ride that much yesterday, so I'll do some more riding until I write it off as useless. I'm not quite shure whether my CDI has two different maps, but it has the wires to connect to the switch, although this switch was not standard on the 2006 EC200 as far as I know.
My battered 2006 OEM bars were replaced with a brand new Renthal Twinwalls. After reading about the twinwall being overly stiff, I chose to remove the crossbar. The new bars received soft Renthal grips and new levers on both master cylinders.

I also leaned out the Lectron one click and reduced the sag somewhat.
All in all, I felt that I had a better bike than before
