Maybe drill, maybe not. Go out and get it fully up to operating temp. While still hot, adjust the idle speed knob to proper idle (around 1300). That should cure some of the jumpiness. Later on, drilling the plugs might be a good idea so you can access your mix screws. Shimming needles out is another option to help it warm up faster and smoother while under load.

Question: this jumpiness. Do you ride off without choke after a cold start? Using choke and keeping the idle at ~2500 rpm keeps the bike nice and smooth. After a mile or two, the bike should respond properly to throttle and idle nicely. At that point, turn the choke off. Humor me and try this method of choke usage.

$10 says your wrist pain is from putting weight on your hands instead of supporting yourself with legs and abs and back. Funny grip can cause discomfort, but that's usually tingly fingers or whatever. Sore wrists is usually from too much weight on your hands.
