Done to death! Use the search function, lots of threads about the live feed behind the clocks.

Again, there are a number of threads about this, some stuff on LED lights and a couple on HID conversions and some experiments with LED driving lamps too.

RTFM - Sticking to what is in the manual is the best place to start

Forget the K&N stuff, stick with DNA and a PC-V, all the maps are (or soon will be) available if you keep the stock cans.

The WR ones Mike has suggested are a good cheap option, the quality isn't great, but for �24 delivered they are a great value. At the other end of the price scale there are PivotPegz, niether need any adapters, just buy for the YZ or older WR's, they are the same (also the TTR600)
