WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I AM A RACING GOD, ALL BOW BEFORE MY 40 YEAR OLD BIKE, YOU THERE! YOU'RE NOT BOWING! WOOOOOOHOOOOO!!!

Ok so that's out of the way:wink2:

190 mains
25 pilot
needle in 2nd from top position
air screw 1.25 turns out.
XS pods (I know I know, I should be using them foamy things, but they're ugly)
air jet removed

Bike starts first kick with choke, choke off after I put on my helmet. Bike pulls strong up to 5k where I encounter slight stumble*, more throttle solves this very quickly. Power seems more readily available throughout the rev range with the application of more throttle. Sound through the pods is worth the extra $$$ alone.

Conclusions,
More fine tuning is needed. Must get vacuum gauges and tweak my cables. Further reading of the Mikuni manual and various other tomes of ancient lore is a must.

*stumble happens with whatever carbs I have on and is not indicative of any failure on the part of Mikuni co. or its subsidiaries.
