kawasaki zzr 1100 tuning without waking every old-bike problem

I am looking at kawasaki zzr 1100 tuning for an older bike that already pulls hard but feels rough in the middle. I want the power clean, not just louder.
I found this related page while comparing notes: kawasaki zzr 1100 tuning. I wanted a practical thread before ordering parts.
Would you check compression, carb sync, plug color, air filter, intake leaks, cooling, chain slack, brake drag, tire pressure, battery voltage and a same-road roll-on?
