Default N1EG works great for me!

Bike year & model = EC300 2004 with PWK38 AS1
Temperature (degF) = 60F to 90F
Elevation (feet) = 0 to 3000 Feet
Main jet = 170
Pilot jet = 38
Needle & notch = N1EG Notch 1 (leanest)
Air screw setting = 1 Turn Out
Throttle valve/slide = 7

Results:

Starts easy, idles nice, clean and crisp straight from idle to all throttle positions, pulls hard. Very pleased with it.

Running on 98 Octane Unleaded.

Ipone Samourai 100% Synthectic or Motorex Power Cross 100% Synthetic both at 2% (50:1)

I read a lot of negative comments about the N1EG needle but it works great for me. Maybe I've just dropped lucky and the N1EG suits my carb/bike.

One thing I noticed is it's very sensitive to clip position. On notch 4 it won't start properly, keeps wetting the plug. At notch 3 and 2 it won't pull cleanly at 50% to 75% throttle. At notch 1 it works great.

Thanks to MattR for setting up this thread, very useful.
