Riding the bike for a little while will help you figure out what matters. You may want more power now, but you may find that it's adequate after you ride it some and instead opt to spend your money on racks, or other mods. I do agree that making sure it runs well is the priority, so if rejetting or carb swapping will help it run better, there is nothing wrong with jumping in, as long as you are comfortable with the process. Make sure to post your mods as you go so others can learn from your experience.

^ THIS!
It's the best change you can make to the bike (and it changes the rider too).
I also like to ride a new bike stock/as-is for a while so that if something is modded or changed down the road, I have a baseline for comparison.
