I just changed my main jet to a #60 and moved the needle back to the middle clip and it seems to run much crisper. Play with it and take some plug readings along the way to see which way you are heading.

I did the same thing, big difference in how much more power it gave it down low.

when i just did the needle & the air filter - i had it bog down low no matter how i adjusted the needle & the air screw. now its perfect & pulls 3rd up no problem.

How do you take a plug a reading?
Just start with a good clean plug and check it after you ride the bike . It should not be white ( lean) or black ( rich). It should be a nice tan / brown color. Keep making adjustments till the bike runs like a raped ape and the plug looks right .
Later , mike
