Wow...using octane to compensate for a lean mixture. Thanks for the explanation Riot.

Start at 2.5 turns out from seated and adjust from there.

mhess: Some technical questions for you since you have the Muzzy: 1) is the airflow the same with the Muzzy as it is with the stock system? If so, is the benefit of the full Muzzy system that it reduces weight and/or it has a better sound? 2) You mentioned a flat spot @ 6k with the re-jetting, do you notice any flat spots with the stock jets and a fuel mixture adjustment? 3) Finally, did you keep your center stand? If so, how difficult was it fabricating the spacers for the exhaust? I'd be interested in seeing a "How To".
I'm trying to build a knowledge base for myself--not trying to challenge you. Thanks in advance for the info.
