Chances are the bike already runs lean. Don't think it will make it any worst.

Nope, punching out the baffles will only let the air out easier, and bit louder.
But if it still can't inhale its not getting any more air in to screw up the AFR (air fuel ratio).

Shouldn't lean it out beyond the range of the O2 sensors. Just pull th sparkplugs once in a while and make sure they are collecting some color.
