Will make sure the float is working - I haven't seen any leaking out of the carb unless I tip the bike almost all the way over.

The carb has 2 screws on the top.
This is the source of your problem.

AS2 Carb, running a rich pilot and a very rich needle, in a rather rich clip position.. and for some reason an obsurdly lean main (someones attempt to compensate?).

I find it interesting that you say it runs well though. Mine was a blubbering mess that wouldn't take throttle well and load up in no time in that state.

What are you temps and elevation? Something around a W diameter, 40 pilot, clip pos 2-3 depending on particular needle, and 172-178 main will have that bike using less fuel and riding much stronger.

Still consider head squish as a variable though. My 2010 had 2.6mm stock and I couldn't get it dialled for the life of me. Would change every time the wind direction did.
