Newie w/ Question
08/20/09 at 06:37:52
 
Just joined, just bought a used 07 s40, 4k miles,.....no mods,...stock as a clock as far as I know. It runs good in general. But I notice when under light throttle conditions, if I pull the choke out a notch, it will pick up a little speed, and runs a touch smoother. Is this kinda normal, or or should something be enriched a little? It idles very good, so can I assume that the screw adj under the brass plug is ok ? Mite a little trim of the spacer fix this ? I love the bike, and it is ok even if nothing was ever changed, but wondered about the seemingly lean condition.
Thanks for any reply.

Yep, they all do better when re-jetted.  With stock intake and exhaust, opening the idle mixture screw to 2 or 2-1/2 turns, or where ever your engine idles best, is good.  Reducing the needle jet spacer to 2mm length or a bit less is good.  Changing the main jet to a 150 is good.
