i've been messing around with this hanging idle issue i've had for a bit with this new bike. i've richened pilot and needle, and it still would not consistently drop to idle when i went from wot. occasionally i'd have to drag the clutch/force it to lug to bring it back to idle - i've been thinking it was too lean on the needle.. it's been driving me nuts for 3 races, and was getting to the point where i thought i was gonna get hurt (bike would occasionally be dragging me along........was nasty on a few downhills...) so today i took the slide spring out and compared it to the spring on an earlier bike. the newer bike has a very soft and very short spring, and the older has a much stiffer, much longer (+10mm) spring. stiffer spring appears to have solved the problem. i'm assuming soft spring didn't slam shut slide shut enough... i kinda hope it's fixed, but i kinda wish i could have the soft spring.. it makes the throttle so easy... but it was getting dangerous...

goes to show it's not always jetting.....
