I have tried both positions and both seem to just actually choke the motor out instead of bringing up the idle. Ive only owned the bike just less than 2 months and havnt really had a need for the choke but yesterday was a bit cooler than usual and I noticed the change. It fired right up no choke like always but idled really low. I could feather the throttle and it would rev up and down no problem. Im sure if i hopped on and went it would have warmed quickly and been fine.

If you still don't feel that the bike is running it's best at mid range rpm(normal highway speeds) then I would change the two brass washers for two steel washers , that would raise the needle two "tads".( slightly )higher.

Be careful with brass washers. When I could not find any steel #4 washers at the local hardware store.......they had brass ones so I bought them. The OD of the brass washers I bought was just a tiny bit bigger than the steel ones - so the brass washers would not go into the hole in the slide.......that would have resulted in the needle being raised way too high.

If you are using brass washers....make sure they are not to big to fit into the recessed hole in the slide (where the spring and needle go before you screw the plate on...the inside bottom of the slide).

Someday I will be old......But not today!

I did away with the brass for steel washers that fit very well. Bike rides well throughout the rev range. Just had me baffled that when the choke is applied it stalls out the engine. But I started it up today and backed the mixture screw out a bit and the bike idled good. I dont know whats up with the choke but it still rides well.
