And Tako I absolutely refuse to go beyond 2 turns on the mixture screw. They drilled it into our brains anything below 1 turn out or above 2 turns out was out of the range of adjustability and clearly meant you needed a different size pilot jet. I've strayed far enough from my training by drilling the pilot, and that was only done out of necessity.
Yes I have done plug reading from WOT. Looks perfect. I also used an A/R ratio gauge to help with tuning. Just curious if any improvements will be gained from low to midrange throttle. I like to tinker and experiment. If you watched my video in this thread http://www.chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=23589 I did a couple of WOT's at the 2:00 and 9:00 marks. Though you can't make out the speed, notice how quick it hits around the 8500 rpm mark through 4th gear. Both times I hit the 72-73 mph mark on the speedo before I let off the throttle which is almost dead on with my GPS. Like I said, I don't know if it will make a difference but worth a try.
If you are planning on porting and decking the PWK30 will be a good choice. Don't know if the power jet is really necessary. I've tried disabling the power jet and noticed a loss in throttle response.
