I do believe my Lectron needs more tuning as Rick admits he likes his bikes running fat when I bought it from him. I was still trying to get it tuned more to my liking when I had my accident so I haven't been back to it yet.

You saying it is almost electric demonstrates my point on throttle response. A properly tuned PWK is instant snap whereas the Lectron is softer. You can argue about which throttle response type is better but there is no argument on which gives actual better throttle response.
with the "recommended" 4-3m metering rod I agree with you 100% even though I think we both have different takes on what throttle response means but from your description I agree it was soft of the bottom. I recently switched to the 5-1 which is leaner off the bottom and richer mid range as well as a steeper richening curve. With that rod, my RK tek head, Ported Cyl, HoH full exhaust....holy crap. It is far from soft anywhere. My 300 is snappy like a 250. I actually need to dial back the power valve because for technical stuff its a little too much for me to be honest.
