Hey Tard

Nice Pics. I especially like the RED marking indicators. Ill learn to do that some day. I dont have an answer for you but Im interested. This will bump you back up so maybe some nice smart person can educate us.

i pm'ed chris K and he said they are it.will check soon

[el tardo]

yep the bleeder screws are under those light grey caps.you have to push through them with a small flat tiped screw driver as the caps dont pop out.the smaller cirlce with pop off the grey cap and you can get to them easy. mine were set at about 1/4 turn out on both. i now have them set to about 1 and 1/8 turns out.its much more chrisp off throttle and sounds better.
i couldnt get a perfectly smooth idle but close enough.
i did play with the screws alot and this was the best settings so far-but havent ridden it yet.will try tomorrow if it doesnt rain in southern california!!

my mods are---
i have my air box lid modded with the bigger hole with a K&N filter and full exhaust and no cat and a memjet for extra fuel

[el tardo]

rode it today and was much better on the low end with more power and smoother. i will say that 1 and 1/8th turns is to much as it had some studder in some rpms' that it didn't have before so i reset the bleeder screws to 3/4 out.

Please do explain for those of us, like me, very mechanically challenged. What are these screws? Or what do they bleed I guess is the better question?

[el tardo]

when you add exhaust you need more fuel and the bleed screws add more fuel right when you open the throttle.it only controls fuel when the butterflys are closed to about 10% open ,not more fuel for full throttle,thats what my memjet does.

Interesting, thanks. Sounds like much of the jerkiness at steady lower throttle openings can be tuned out just using these screws then?

[el tardo]

sorry i wasnt more clear, its more for when you close the throttle and you get that popping noise,it gets rid of that
for the jerkiness your talking about the memjet works that out,at least it did for me!!.
