Welcome to the oRg. We have a few members in the UK. Glad to have you. I would not think that you would need a dyno tune with a k/n filter. However, a dyno tune is always best to make sure you bike is running at optimum performance. What year is she?
Depends on your needs but the K&N is shown to impair performance compared to the stock one (on the Busa applications anyhow). You may want a K&N anyhow if you put lots of mile on it and want to cut costs vs performance. Wait on the dyno tune until after a full exhuast system is installed.
And Welcome!
And Welcome!
K&N doesn't offer any real improvements over the OEM. The K&N air filter, however, should be a worthwhile replacement.

As for plugs, use the stock CR9E plugs. They work just fine and there are a couple of threads on the board which suggest that some "high performance" plugs will actually reduce performance and gas mileage.
One of the things I like about the Busa is that it does so well with the basics. Keep it simple and it will serve you just fine. By the same token, if you want to kick it up a notch or 20, it can be done quite easily. You get the best of both worlds!

welcome to the org. wait until after the exhaust is installed before change'n out filter. JMO
don't rule out BMC or Piper air filters either. For oil filters I stick with the OE.
