Yes they do make one for that motor. Yamaha's run pretty good compression right out of the box, but you could squeeze a little more out of it. I have run the keys before, but have not tried shaving the head down.

I talked to Don at plowmans,and He said "it won't help a stock motor".
So with your exhaust, I don't know if He counts that
as hi-performance or not.
The way I see it, your gonna need more revs. and I bet the weak link is valve springs and then maybe the rod.
Someone on here will know, and comment.
