I would argue--do the countersprocket ('front' sprocket) first. These come geared really low (high number rear sprocket--56 and low number front sprocket 13 or 14) for pure off-road. I would suggest change the front sprocket to a 17 tooth as your very first modification. From there, if you want to be mainly streetable with some dirt trail riding, you could look into changing the rear sprocket to a 45 tooth from the stock 56. The third mod should be the carb, once you decide you like the way the bike is geared.
@Sport Rider--the only reason I say this is not to insult you and your suggestion, but I think people have reported carb issues changing them out (I am writing about relative newbies which 'Hawkrider' states he is) which were probably not issues at all but rather newbie issues such as adjustments as opposed to anything being 'wrong.'
