Those reeds won't be affecting the running yet but they won't be getting any better either. Lift them up and see if they are wearing as they hit the cage. Think I got mine from 454.co.nz. you could wet and dry them to keep them going for a few rides more but. .

Std needle needs a modification. Put it in the vice and give it just enough of a tweak that you won't be tempted to use it. A nail would be better.

Don't use a nail.

Motul is a fantastic oil, that's not your problem but I bet a mate told you it was. Ahh, oil opinions.

Try a 42 and 175 as starting point, the needle will in combination with the pilot be leaner. Then try needle position and mix screw. Finally try if smaller main if you feel inclined.

Tip. Always think throttle position. Not rev range.

Just been riding my 07 last weekend . Still love it.
