update: Now 2 turns out. Tried one turn but it was not running well. Getting a solid pop when I chop the throttle, and some popping on low-throttle deceleration. Would like to get rid of that... but any more out on the screws and I get the symptoms of over-rich.

EXHAUST MODIFICATIONS: AreaP QuietCore full exhaust
JET KIT OR STOCK? Jet kit
BRAND OF JET KIT? FactoryPro
MAIN JET: Stock (Keihin #98)
NEEDLE AND CLIP POSITION: Per FactoryPro starting point recommendation - clip in third groove from the top, three washers above
MIXTURE SCREW SETTINGS: Initially 2 1/2 turns out, now 2 1/4, going to try 2 flat. The bike runs just fine at all rpms and loads, but when the throttle is blipped at idle the speed drops below the idle set point and returns.
ELEVATION: Sea level to about 150 feet
MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR BIKE’S JETTING SETUP:
- Pilot jet replaced with the #40 alternate that came in the jet kit
- DynoJet dynamometer results:
- Peak HP 28.91
- Peak torque 14.37
The dyno guy said "You're fine... you don't need to do anything." He also said his dyno is a bit "tight" and the real numbers may be slightly higher.
Air/fuel was dancing around the "ideal" line... maybe just a tiny bit on the rich side of things overall, but not enough to warrant making any changes.
Fuel economy after a week and two tanks of fuel is between 55 and 63 mpg, driveability is excellent, choke is not needed at startup, and the sound is to die for.
A huge THANK YOU to kkim, who recommended this exact setup. Except for the idle mixture screw settings, he enabled me to nail it on the first try!
