RE: What mods gave most performace gain?
bikebandit.com is a good source of kawasaki parts.
If you've added fuel without increasing air, you may be running too rich which might be the cause of the bog. I'm running the KDX snorkle, crank vent mod, slide port drilled to 7/64ths, N1TC needle with clip 2 down from the top, 125 main, stock pilot, 2.5 turns out on the pilot screw, and Muzzy full system. It runs so well it's amazing to me that it's only a 250. Cracking great throttle response and no hint of bog.

Don't quote me [8D] Tony found the snorkle. FWIW, it is the KDX200 (among others). Part number is what matters and that's 14073-1577

Bike bandit is out of stock of the snorkle, I have not been able to find another one anywhere else. I ordered it close to maybe 2 weeks now, and its been on backorder this whole time.

You might try http://www.worldofpowersports.com
Also, have you asked your dealer? Mine can get parts in 3 days usually but the price is a bit higher.

I drilled mine out and noticed a slight difference, but not much. It was a little deeper in pitch and slightly louder. I must say, however, that the Muzzy I just put on is worth its weight in gold as far as performance goes. In my opinion, only the 13t sprocket gives you more increase in performance. Disclaimer: all of the other mods were already complete when I added the Muzzy. Glad I held out for it instead of the Big Gun - I prefer the look of it and it is PLENTY loud. I hear the BG is even louder; which I consider a detriment.

What do you guys think about the mods to the carb listed step by step in the post about the HMF slip-on that is now supposed to be available? They recommend different carb mods and have dyno tested them.

RE: What mods gave most performace gain?
here's my take-
all the above posts are pretty factual and accurate except for the BigGun being loud, it's not THAT loud. With the quiet core it's only loud when revved and then not any louder than a Muzzy.
The 13-tooth sprocket was the first mod I did and it IMMEDIATELY woke the bike up. After that, I added a BigGun EvoX full system and it was like hooking up nitrous to the bike- literally. I installed it before the carb/airbox mods and it was a different bike. Do research on here before you buy Muzzy as some pipes are being built with parts missing and there are other things to consider about the Muzzy as you'll quickly learn on here if you do a search on it. The BigGun was designed for the 250 plus it is ceramic coated and will not rust or blue like the Muzzy eventually will. I like the BigGun, but that's just me. Good luck.

The Muzzy is stainless so rust is not an issue, but yes there have been a few fit and finish issues...
For myself, there was one spring hanger missing (as many people have also experienced).
Also, one of the cap screws in the muffler was rounded off, and my quiet-core won't fit into the muffler end... I just sent it back yesterday, they said they'd send me a new core and screws.
