pilot/air/idle mixture screw

I have done this and i'm thinking that maybe I need to remove a washer or 2 from my needle. The issue occurs when I rev up let off and then immediately rev it back up. There is a small hesitation which makes it hard to pop the front end up over obstacles.

I am about to head out to the garage to mess with it some more. Any suggestions?

I am an eternal optimist and take anything that may be seen as critical, as another suggestion/opinion that should be considered.



Yes. The bike was running fine when stock. It was popping under decel (lean) so I opened the pilot to 2.5 and it ran fine but I feel it is better to run a little rich through the whole throttle range especially since I do a lot of sustained wot. I went back to 5 washers today and ran it for a while with minimal problems. I will pick up a new plug on monday to see if that helps. Any suggestions for a better plug than ngk? Or should I stick with them?

I ride single track trails with lots of twistys and whoops so a responsive throttle is a must.

When drilling the slide, is it the hole right next to the needle that is drilled out? I'm not sure that I will be going that route but I am curious.

I removed the shims so now its at 130 main and 2.5 turns out on the pilot screw. Seems to be running well through all the ranges. I will now try it with one then two shims and see what effect that has on it. If it surges with both combos, I will just stick with the 130 main only.
