sea level setting?

[panterra_rider]

This probably could have gone under the "sputtering" thread below but I just thought I'd mention that a lot of these bikes are probably set for sea level or close to it. Where I am it's 1900 feet above sea level meaning our bikes probably needed a richer mixture...that's where the needle/clip trick comes in. I've actually set the needle on ours at it's highest setting and they run pretty good...they're a little rich BUT if I change the air filter box to a POD filter then we're probably set.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I just remember something about this when I set some Suzuki ATV carbs. Plus I didn't see it mentioned elsewhere...

Thanks,
R.
