How to Improve Acceleration?

I want to know how I may boost the performance of my Honda Hornet, its acceleration in particular. I am not concerned with the top speed; I just want the bike to accelerate faster than what it does now. Please suggest ways and means to do so.

The easiest way to improve the performance of your bike is to fit a bigger sprocket at the back. This will improve its acceleration instantly. You may also fit a free-flow exhaust system and a better air-filter that will allow the bike to breathe better and thus improve its overall performance as well.
