bike fully warmed up when you're doing this, correct?

Yes fully warmed up. it seemed to be within a half screw in and it would start to hang. I started from scratch and got it sorted out.

It ran fine, once it was fully warmed up. About 3 or 4 backfires over the course of a weekend and a couple sputters. I have since dropped it off at a shop that has a dyno and a older dude who used to race bikes for years is working on it.
He's like a 1 man deal, does lotsa porting jobs and valve jobs. He's highly recommended (in my area) on many forums from Gixxer's to Harleys. I want it dialed in perfectly and get a good dyno graph outta it.
He wasn't pleased to see a jetting kit though. It wasnt the jets he disliked but the needles. He started talking about how the taper affects this and that and how he would rather shim needles and adjust the springs. I dunno, he lost me by then but he said he would see how he can get it to perform utilizing the kit-needles and we'll go from there.
His main concern was that I got the most out of the mods and it had good streetability. He was VERY happy to see I didnt get a dynojet kit and drill the slides.
