Finally got round to installing the new needle. Been pouring with rain here recently and too much else to do.
Bike definitely running a whole lot better! What a difference a needle can make! Not as boggy when pulling away from low revs. Doesn't require the throttle held half open to start it after stalling. Easier to ride slow.
If I've been pottering around slowly in 1st, then accelerate hard, it still has a bit of hesitation. Eg accelerates, flattens, then pulls away again. Once you do this once and let it "clear it's throat" it's crisp after that if I repeat the acceleration. How normal is that or can some more tuning improve this?
Tried different airscrew settings. 1.5 out was what I normally used. Didn't notice a lot of difference 2 turns out. Still learning to feel the difference. Even 2.5 turns out I didn't notice an obviously 'lean' condition eg expected revs staying high after blipping throttle.
