    A not so silly as it may sound answer (you likely will not like).
    Get a part time job and save the $$ so you can buy a more powerfull bike.
    Wayyy easier / satisfying.

    Just cleaning carbs, polishing the slide bores, and tweaking the carbs.
    Another performance gain: Add your bikes info as your signature
    and your location to acct settings, and add yourself to the XJBikes map
    theres a link in my siganture.
    Goodluck
