If you want a nice dependable bike consider putting the airbox and stock jetting back. Your bike has CV carbs so if you keep using pods you will spend much time fiddling with the carbs trying to find the magic combination that will make it run well throughout the rpm range. Ed

Unstick that sticky float. You dont need rebuild kits unless bits need replacing.
The best thing i did with mine was get the carb fuel level set to spec. Search "clear tube method" . Doing this made for a very smooth running bike. Synch the carbs.
Check and adjust the valve clearances if necessary.
The ignition is electronic so nothing to do there
Good luck
