However the spark plugs are still collecting carbon, do you think its worth adjusting the carburator needles to try and correct it? Apparently that should improve performance a bit and remove any sort of flat spots in the excelleration too.

The guy at the shop said they could do a tune up (pretty much set everything back to manufacturors settings) replace the spark plugs and air filter element for about $500, but he said he's not sure if I'll see much increase in performance so I'm not sure its worth my $500 for it.

Do you think removing the baffles from the exhaust or replacing the exhaust with an aftermarket one with the baffles removed might be an idea? I've heard it can improve performance & sound but I'm not sure if its worth the hassle / money.

Any thoughts?
get the carbys cleaned and balanced ,and buy your own filter easy to
do buy new plugs/ oil/filter change do it your self !!!
might cost you a couple of hundred .
you can get air filter cleaned ive had them cleaned down here for 5 bucks before , that will save you 50 bucks or more!!!
shop around for a exhaust might find your self a bargin ,
but if i was you id give it a bit of well needed tlc and see if you notice
an improvement in performance ..
aslo replace you disk as youll need them one day 75 % of your brakes are in the front.
