just ride and enjoy it, save your money for when things break or wear out.
Touch points and tires. Upgrade the other bits once they wear out or if you wreck them
Does it have a dropper?
It really depends on the kind of riding you are doing. If it’s a used bike, then rebuild the fork and rear shock…especially the fork. Bleed the brakes and install new pads/sand the rotors.
Get a good set of platform pedals and shoes, the shoes make a lot of difference, like the five ten freerider pros.
Other than that, just go out and ride the bike. Bike upgrades are very subtle improvements for most riders. The more time you spend on it, the less you’ll feel the need to upgrade parts.
I mean you spent $600 on a full suspension bike…ride it hard, become a better rider. Beat on the bike a bit, don’t be afraid to scratch it during a fall. In a few years you’ll be able to sell it for like $300-$400.
If you can’t stop yourself from spending money on bike upgrades, then make sure you keep the original parts. Like let’s say you put on a fox 36 factory fork or performance elite, that part alone will probably cost as much as the bike was used…but when you eventually sell the bike, you can keep the upgrades and maybe you will only have to buy a frame and a few other parts…not a whole bike.
Dropper post, then replace as things wear or break
Cheap cosmetic stuff is buying custom stickers for your fork and such. Peddles, stem peices, grips. Outside of that wait for something to break
