Yesterday I went riding and it was 35 degrees. I've been riding in the 50-70 degree range lately (or warmer from the summer). The bike had no power down low. I couldn't bog like I'm used to. I had to feather the clutch for the first time ever!
So today I read the jetting guide. Warmed the bike up.
Started with the fuel screw. Bike settled in at it's fastest idle at 3.5 turns. It had a 40 pilot so I put in a 35. I went out to adjust it while blipping the throttle to 1/4 turn. I really couldn't ever find a sweet spot. It was more like a wide range from 1.75 - 2.75 or so.
SO I read on about adjusting the clip. From 1/4 to 3/4 it felt like a smooth bog at the beginning but then came out of it, so I lowered the clip 1 notch (raising the needle).
I rode it around and it felt better in the midrange but was still lacking some on the bottom.
If I let the bike sit in neutral for a few seconds and settle into an idle....and then twisted the throttle fast.....there would be about a 1/2 second bog and then it would hit.
I appreciate ya'lls advice. It's a 220 that's been RB'd if that matters.
