Shimming Needles - Dallas/Fort Worth
I know this is a topic beaten to death... however to avoid "takin it apart, testing and taking it apart again" who in the DFW region has shimmed their needles for a Two Brothers Slip On and how many washers per needle improved the "bogging" in lower and mid range? Did you remove snorkel as well. That info will help in a one time only adjustment.... thanx...

I have done it on two different '08 250s. With a slip-on and the snorkel removed, I have found that three washers worked the best. But that's just my findings. Let me know if you need/want any help.

This Saturday I plan on installing WC clipons, adjust the chain, and change the oil. If I have time I'll try to shim the needles. I'd like to get to know some local 250 riders

I thought that shimming the needles (the amount of washers used) all depends on the bike -- not the mods done to it.

Roughly speaking, mods that increase airflow will like getting more fuel -- more washers or bigger jets.
