Well how about the derailleurs, and shifters for starts. Maybe the pedals go with an all alloy pedal, maybe a better brake system. I suspect you got a Warrior either a 03 or maybe a 04 like the Comp. Either way the frame and wheels are good enough to start, the shifters, and derailleurs are the weak point IMHO.

Ride it and replace those items that either don't funtion well or you dont like. It takes me around 50 + hours of riding to even fit a new bike. That some times requires things like seats, bars and stems.

handlebars and stem are always a good upgrade

i always like to add 150 dollars worth of ribbons and streamers.
but if your not into that id look into the break system.
on all bikes that i have bought ive ended up changing the break system.
