Carb swap, intake port match, exhaust port polish, pro circuit or better exhaust, quality pod filter with no port obstructions, proper jetting, plug upgrade off the top of my head.
Most of these bikes perform better with taller gearing than stock.
Why not tap the potential from the get go?
If you truly have the skills there is nothing wrong with playing with your new toy.

All good points, but you are talking about a TBR7, which is in the same league as the Hawk. Both require fiddling from the get-go because the manufacturers set them lean to pass US emissions and use the cheapest carbs they can find. We are talking about a $5 saving which I am sure consumers would be happy to pay for a decent stock carb (I believe the Hawks now come with OK carbs) The CSC bikes are fully assembled and PDI'd by CSC, so generally run fine from new. Suggested to let them be for several hundred miles until break-in.
