Starting turns of air pilot screw? Final turns?

As far as I know 79-up KZ1000 have air pilot screw (fuel pilot screw up to 78)
I started with 2 turns out, then turned to 1.5 turns (richer). It feels like I need at least 1/4 more turn in. So I will end up with about 1 to 1 1/4 turns out.
Is it close to yours?
