Scott scale 80...upgrade or not?

Topbanana0

Hi I have a Scott Scale 80, which I bought last year and it's my first mtb.
As you can see from the spec below, it's not the best bike in the world, but it's currently ok.
I'm and older ride, but not afraid to have a go, I normally ride the 'Afan Valley' The Wall/Whites etc. In the next couple of months I will hire a full sus bike, and ride my normal runs. As I want to see how much difference it will make to my riding.
Apart from the tyres and grips my current bike is still standard, what I would like to know is should I upgrade? Or is it a waste of money? What would you change? How far would you go before it becomes false economy?
Thanks

Nothing stands out as below par, wait until something needs changing and then upgrade unless you have a specific issue you want to address. Forks are not the best, but are damped and reasonably light but after a year the best upgrade would probably to give them a service and fresh grease!
