You'll get varied opinions on this, so here's mine.
From my experience, I would recommend as yor first step...
1) a full exhaust system (AreaP or Yoshi) in the color/configuration of your choice,
2) removal of the snorkel to derestrict the intake as much as possible,
3)remove the Kleen system and
4)shim the carbs with 3 washers if your bike is the typical lean running bike from the factory.
With the parts in hand, you should be able to do all this in a weekend, if this is your first time tearing the bike apart.
But remember, the object is not just to throw parts on the bike and say, "I'm done", but to work the pieces together so the bike runs the way you want it to from top to bottom in the power band.
When I did my mods, I did them one at a time so I could see what difference each mod made along the road to my projected desired result.
My end result is a bike with a power band from bottom to top that feels "electric" in nature. The power is so smooth now that when you twist the throttle the bike simply moves forward with a bit more gusto...much like controlling an electric motor, yet it still screams when you approach the redline (9-12k) area.
It will take a lot of work to get to the point where you'll be completely happy with the bike (I still have work that I am planning to do). I recommend the work be done in small steps at a time.
