Answer
Your bike came out of the factory lean to pass EPA standards, so taking out the baffles will make it run even leaner. The other problem is you will loose power at the midrange.
I would suggest getting a exhaust tuned exhaust system, a high flow air filter and get the remapping.
You can purchace the exhaust and highflow air filter and install it yourself and then have the dealer do the remapping to save some money.
Good luck and happy riding
