Have about 15 hrs on mine since it was installed. It should now be fully broken in. Have done a couple of small trailside adjustments since installing it & I think it's probably close, but still a bit on the rich side. I'm Ok with it being a bit rich, rather than a bit lean.
Once the bike is warmed up, there is very little smoke, although I still have a bit of spooge, but much less spooge than I used to get from the stock Keihin, which was admittedly running rich.
The bike generally starts in one kick when cold with the choke on, or if the starter is willing to work, it fires as soon as the button is pressed.

Here's a cool benefit. I did an organized ride yesterday. I used at least 2 or 3 fewer liters to ride to the lunch stop than I did on the same ride last year. Last year, I hit reserve at just over 80km(mix of roads and single track), with the lunch being at about 86km. This year, lunch was at the 80km mark and it took only about 6 liters to fill up. My bike has the 10.5 liter tank.
Weather conditions were similar to last year and trails were similar.
That is close to the mileage I used to get on my 250cc 4strokes.
