Hey guys, so i recently installed a k&n air filter and a slip on exhaust and When i took the bike out it was even more gutless than usual but i did some research on this forum and some others and found that shimming the needles should help my problem out quite a bit so yesterday i shimmed each needle with 2 washers 0.020 in thickness and the bike ran amazingly very responsive in the midrange and throughout with no power loss the only thing is now the bike comes back to idle very slowly and sometimes will jump around down there between 1.2k to 1.5 any ideas guys?
