If it hasn't been done yet, it's worth doing, yes. You will see gains, but without other mods they will be minimal.
A good 2 into 1 pipe will liven up the bike. Cams, bore, etc. will really wake it up.

Oh ya, congrats and enjoy.

Once you start modd'ing it you will never stop. I speak from experience. Rejetting and cam's will probably net you the most gains for least amount of money.
