I threw a N3CW #3 and 42 pilot in it this afternoon. I just warmed it up and rode it round the backyard and then set about getting a feel for the bottom end of the revs (bike on the stand, no load).

The idle is much better, it's stronger and not as low. The air screw settled on about 3/4 out. The bike is super sensitive to AS changes at the moment, 1 turn out and it gets a lean bog when wicking the throttle open, .5 turn out and the idle drops below idle and is prone to stalling.

With the AS at 3/4 the response off idle seems good, it revs cleanly and settles back down to the nice idle in a reasonable time frame. Revving the engine at 1/8 throttle sounds good, lovely and clean with no burble. just after 1/8 throttle it leans right off and starts to rev high, I need to be on the bike riding it to test any further but I reckon with load on it it will be ok.

It also became noticeably vibier at idle and just above with the new needle, both through the pegs and through the seat. The bars are nice and insulated though, not much vibration through them at all.

Hoping to get out for a ride in the next few days, be interesting to see how it goes.
