Yes the air fuel mix screws r new as well as the o rings, jets r fairly inexpensive so I'll prolly do that. Are there any good pod style filters out there I liked the uni foam filters on other bikes I've had.

I'm sure others here will be more helpful there. K&N's are a good choice.

It's good to see that valve clearances are all within spec.

If not already done before attempting to determine the best performing pilot jet size, would also want to assure that all fuel levels are within spec as shown by the clear tube test.

Presumably, compression is adequate in all cylinders, spark is strong on every plug and correctly timed, and all pilot circuit passages are as-new clean.

Good Fortune! :)

So to update, I have done clear tube float hight test. I put in the 22.5 pilot jets it runs good plugs look the same so I've ordered 122.5 mains I'll try next week. I'm happy with the way it runs put plugs still don't pass the eye test . I'm wondering how much if any the electronic ignition effects the jetting by means of making it run hotter..anyho I'll keep plug chopping away...lol. It's gotta be close just based on performance!
