Hey Brad,
That is a Honda code needle I believe. I have that same needle for my KTM200. They work really well on the KTM 200's and are popular with that crowd.
I would agree on trying a 40 pilot. I have played with jetting for years and one thing I notice is that our bikes run better here in the NW with a pretty lean pilot.
As far as spooge, I have been down the same road and have come to the conclusion that if the bike is running well, then I can live with the spooge. So many factors go into a bike producing spooge: How clean is the PV? How are the piston and ring wear? Has the silencer received fresh packing? Is jetting spot on? Is there a lot of carbon built up in the pipe itself (resonator)? Are you running a quality oil?
Sounds like you're one the right track and amsoil is the best I've run in terms of spooge.
BTW, we still need to hook up for a ride!
