Whilst not perfect (for a start they tune lean for emissions), I'm apt to go along with Kawasaki and the millions spent building these bikes. I for one don't think I know better than Big 'K'.

using a dyno and sniffer is only good when you want it PERFECT, which is dumb because as the weather changes, so does your jetting. That's $$$ out the window in my mind. Tuning the carbs on your own gets it 90% of the way at the expense of 3-5 mpg on a completely stock bike (think 60-62 instead of 64-65)and a smoother feeling bike without flat spots or hesitations. That's proof enough to me that it is worth your time to test whether a pair of $0.05 washers feels better because in the end isnt it al about if it feels right anyways? Sure it could be better if a dyno and sniffer are used, but that's not necessary unless you're racing and literally want perfection. Even then, sometimes a bike that looks great on the dyno sheet doesn't feel spot on. I'm not saying I know better than Kawasaki, but sport bikes tuned for economy suck.
