Tuning
Evaluate all adjustments only with the motor fully warmed up (after at least 5-10 miles of spirited riding).
Idle fuel mixture:
Turn the idle mixture screw inwards (clockwise) until the idle speed starts to drop or become slightly rough. Screw the mixture screw out (counter-clockwise) until the idle just smooths out.
Pilot jet:
If you want a richer low end use the #45 pilot jet.
Main jet:
To test the main jet selections run the bike at wide open throttle in 4th gear on a level road. When the bike is pulling cleanly at a good high RPM & wide-open throttle slowly back off on the throttle to about 7/8 throttle. If the bike picks up speed or power as you slightly back off the throttle then you are running too lean on the main jet. If the bike only slows down slightly then your main jet selection is close. If it is too rich the exhaust note may sound flat as the motor revs out. If it is significantly too rich it may misfire as the revs climb.
Needle:
One shim under the Needle Clip is a good starting point and will work well for most bikes. To go one step richer at mid-range throttle, add a shim. Conversely to set it one step leaner remove a shim.
The needle clip should be set the highest (leanest setting) that still provides smooth steady speed engine operation and good throttle response.
