My 2 cents is that 1 down in the front is a good improvement. Cheap and easily reversible. You can always try it and go bigger in the back if you want but this is the simple first step.

I think you left this out, so I will add it for you: I plan on changing my oil soon, what type of oil is best?

Well, there is a consensus around here that -1 on the front sprocket is better than stock. Some consider it optimal.
Give it a try. You'll probably like it.

Then get rid of that K&N filter.
