brixton rayburn 125 tuning while keeping it reliable and rideable

I am starting a brixton rayburn 125 tuning thread because the bike looks cool but the owner wants better pull out of town. I do not want to turn it into a noisy headache.
I found this related page while comparing notes: brixton rayburn 125 tuning. I wanted a practical thread before ordering parts.
Would you check plug, air filter, intake leaks, fuel delivery, chain slack, sprockets, brake drag, tire pressure, battery voltage and a same-road hill before parts?
