Pilot jet change effect on mixture screw?

The bike had stock jetting of 15 pilot, 105 main and clip in the second from top (Canadian spec jetting). I put 110's in and ran the bike but have not ridden it yet. The bike ran well but the mixture screws liked to be set at 3/4 turn. I was thinking of going to 115 main, 17.5 Pilot and clip in the middle groove, How much does 1 pilot size change the mixture screw?

I have it back together now. It will idle smooth and steady down to about 900 rpm, the mixture screws are now at about 1 1/4 turns out. It seems to take about the right amount of time to get off the choke when warming up, so I think she's ready to ride :woohoo: I hope they clean the winter sand off the roads soon!
