OK, I'm new to the carb set-up (been spoiled with EFI), I have a stock bike and I want to add the K&N filter and pull the snorkel. With what I've read, a .5mm to 1mm shim set up should do what I'm looking for? Here in Hawaii the morning temps are around 60 but choke is still needed for start up but warms up fairly quickly, like 5-7 minutes. With the added air flow from the K&N and snorkel removal, is the thickness of .5mm going to be enough or should I just go with 1mm?

If this has been answered elsewhere I apologize, I've been searching like crazy and the thickness issue seems to be one that is harder to find.

Thanks for your help, these forums have been AWESOME for info!
