I changed my primary oil out to Redline syn standard stuff. That made a noticeable difference in how the transmission works. I decided to go a few steps farther so I installed a Vance Hines exhaust and jetted to a 45 and 175 jet. I also put in a K&N air filter. The bike has come alive. I adjusted the air fuel ratio as well. The bike is loud. It also runs much better. It feels strong. I don't get back fire at all on the down shifts. The upper header has turned blue from just going around the block. It seems real good now. I will try to make it run a bit richer. I am at 2 1/2 turns out now.

I don't want a lean condition. Also, I hope I don't get harassed by the fuzz. I get no pop or back fire like it did stock when I downshift. I think I am pretty close to having it nailed but what should I look for?

I am going to try two washers to shim today. We will see if this changes anything. I suspect it will help bottom end. The adventure continues.

Next It will be Diablo's and heavier oil in the front shock.

Washers will help midrange. Have shims available when you change the fork oil. I'd add a half inch of shims because I dont think your suspension is broken in yet. After that you'll want to measure things out. Dont lose the stop rings/circlips when you change the fork oil. They are unavailable and very difficult to find.
