Ok, first of all the bike runs great right now.
Turns out all it it needed all along was to be richened a bit, and now it idles steadily at 1300+/- rpms, responds well to throttle snaps and falls to 2500rpms before settling back down to idle speed.
Turns out I was trying to adjust the wrong screw. I was sticking my screwdriver bit in the recessed hole next to the idle air screw. I also had the idle speed turned WAY too high trying to compensate for such a lean setting. I set the idle speed to where it's just touching the throttle cam and gave it just half a turn. Then I adjusted the mixture and it's good. I have no idea how many turns out they're set to right now but I'm satisfied.
Way to make a mountain out of a mole hill. Well, at least I learned a lot about my new bike in the process. I guess megasquirt can wait for some other time.
