I wish i would have read this thread before doing the mod. My bike is completely stock, and i put 2 washers on both needles. Put the gas tank back on tested it out and it kept dieing when i gave it too much throttle. So this thread would have saved me a lot of time.

At least going back and having to take the needle out to remove the washer went 5x faster (and thats no exaggeration) because i now knew what to do and had some technique to getting to those tough screws.
