when I had mine done the bike ws still stock except it was piped and jetted and had a big gun cdi box
I spent $2500 for the motor work. ( bored, resealed, cams, carb, ported, polished, gaskets, dyna cdi,piston)
it can get costly

I agree with the cams, but you can get the valvesprings and base gasket form the DRZe(I think it was the e model) dirtbike. The valvesprings are stiffer and the base gasket is thinner. Stock compression is ~11:1 the base gasket bumps it up to ~12:1. The valve springs are only about $8 each.

This gave me as much or more of a power gain over the pipe alone as the pipe did over the stock Z. A lot more mid range and top end power, Revs more freely.

You could go faster on your machine as is if you could only handle it.

Suspension, suspension, suspension. The stock motor already out performes the suspension. If money is a concern then get a steering stabilizer, most noticible difference for the money.
