Don't do it! With factory needles, there's lean spot from 6500-8000rpms as seen on dyno-chart above. Going with smaller mains to lean out top-end will cause stumbling in mid-range. Sure shimming needles will help, but will also richen top-end and negate effects of downsizing mains. Back in '80s, I used to grind custom needles on mini-lathe to cure this issue. Nowadays, i just install EFI. However, there is in-between solution:
Leftmost purple vertical-line is needle in jet at closed position.
Middle purple vertical-line is needle in WOT/high-rpm position.
#3 = factory stock New-gen needle
#4 = DynoJet stage-2 needle
Notice DynoJet needle has larger diameter tip than stock with slightly thinner middle? Compared to stock, this leans out high-end while adding fuel to mid-range. This needle along with DynoJet-94/Keihin-95 mains should give you optimum AFR for max-power.
Start with richest clip-position (lowest) for richest mixtue. Need to use wideband or dyno to measure actual AFR (WOT 4th-gear), should around 12:1 in high-end. Lean out mixtures to 12.5-13.0:1 by raising clip one position at time. This will be optimum for street bike while giving you safety margin for bad fuel. Max-power is a little leaner, but extra 0.5hp isn't worth it unless it's race-bike.
