Like I said, my GF had no problems taking off with the 16/41 setup on a stock bike, and she hasn't ridden it since I messed with the needles. To reiterate, for in-traffic riding, that really made the difference between having the clutch out by 5mph and smoothly accelerating, and having to wait til 10+mph before the engine can efficiently pull without feathering. For more aggressive riding those numbers are more like 10mph and 15mph, respectively (as I mentioned above).

But yeah, the 16/41 and 15/38 setups are on the extreme end for this bike, and definitely not for everyone.
