CURT The one thing you have on your side is the time to keep woring with it until it's right.

I think you about said it there Curt, that's why when folks ask, "should I adjust or change my jets if I change pipes and air filters" the usual answer is "try it first" from the folks in the know. You have to remember, someone in a sweat shop somewhere in the world is assembling these carbs, 2 or 3 hundred a day, and when they do, they have a quota to meet, and will they take time to run the pms in and back it out to the correct turns? .. NO... they put it in and plug the adjustment...who cares if it is 2 or 3 turns off..

You right FB and no one know their bike better than the RIDER! We can advise all we want to here and guide people in a direction but it ultimately boils down to the rider and his seat of the pants and ears to tell him which way he needs to go with things. Time and good judgement will win in the end. Some just learn faster than other is all.

Re:Potato Potato 4 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
That's why the're all different.. I would have to pull my choke out about half way when hot, to get my engine to lope like that..or turn the idle down to about 600 revs....

I found a couple 2007's at a dealer today.. Curt's sound clip may have swayed me towards a carb.
