So,.. I'm confused...
Are you trying to tune a straight pipe, no pipe, or a Jardine?...
...
I'm trying to tune the bike, seems like I have to change to 5th gear to hit 50mph.. I added a K&N pod filter now I'm trying to adjust everything..

Sounds to me like its being choked at the higher Rs, which is exactly what a air filter will do when its not large enough to pass the air that the thumper is sucking at higher Rs.
And believe it or not, no amount of tuning can correct for that.

So go to a smaller air filter?

Ive been running a short straight pipe for a bit now and have had no problems. No sign of burned valves or valve float. No ticking or knocking so far. Time will tell though.
