I wouldn't D-cut on a SX650, they ride pretty nose high and porpoise enough allready.
Thats a pretty good list to get you started. For the carb you should just ditch the stock 28mm one and swap it out for a Keihin CDKII 38mm, it will bolt right on the stock manifold and ony need to bore it out to match. One must you need to add is a SS impeller (15.5 is good for the 650). And getting a shorter/lighter pole is great, but a bit pricey if youre on a budget, it is possible to shorten yours with some cutting and glasswork (its a bit of work but worth it).
-Replace the piston rings
-Hone the cylinders
-Deck the cylinders by .002"
-Mill the head by .002"
-Polish the exhaust ports and piston faces
-Mod the exhaust (it changes the water path for apparently 9-10 more HP)
-Replace the OEM reeds with one piece reeds (have them from the last ski)
-Carb kit
-Possibly mod the steering nozzle at the cable mount for faster turning
