Not sure if my bike is jetted 2 Years, 11 Months ago  
Well, i bought my bike from a dealer, it has after market v&h pipes, and an after market k&n filter kit. I moved the bike up to Idaho from new-jersey, i have no idea how it was running at the low altitude, but it seems to run fine up here. I was thinking from reading on here that I should adjust the pms to account for the altitude change, and am under the assumption that I'm probably running rich.

My problem is that i don't know if the bike was jetted when the after market pipes and air-filter were put on. I'm assuming that it was as it doesn't seem to run lean at all, but i really have no way of knowing. Should i just dial in the pms based on performance following the tech article (Dialing in your pms) or do i need to know if it's been jetted?
What performance problems should i look for to tell me if the jetting is incorrect. (I haven't had the bike for long, but I want to make sure it's ready to go for the summer before i take any long trips. Especially since around here i can head up into the mountains and change altitude as much as 6000 ft going over passes.)

Thanks
