The stock forks are usually pretty good and can get by with a rebuild. You get new springs and valving. Springs and valves aren't that expensive especially if you can do it yourself, it's like 400 bucks I think. Paying someone to rebuild them adds a couple hundred.
You can go with a full cartridge replacement on the forks as a step above.
The top top step is to get new gas charged forks if you're a baller. This ranges from around 2grand to rebuild your that way to up to 10 grand for the top ohlins full replacement shit.
No one on this board needs the top forks... Usually people drop about 2gs and up on suspension work. Ohlins rear shock and revalve/respring the forks. When I eventually do it that's what I'll do.

No one needs a lot of shit, but they do it anyway. Does anyone not racing pro really need an exhaust and a pc3? Fuck no, but people do that as the first mod anyway. Suspension is considered a much better use of money anyway. You can get a great penske and respring thicker oil your forks for the same price. Especially for some members of the board where you aren't a 155 lbs person. If you are over like 190, the stock suspension is not good for you on a 600 if you can even get it close to in range, you are lucky.
