Sorry Teukka, I must disagree with you. The needle
is already set too low by the factory (at least here
in the States). That's why the crome exhaust pipe blues
so fast because the bike is running too hot (lean). You
can be sure by looking at the plug. It should be
a light tan color. If it's running too hot it will
be white. By richening the bike up by removing the
spacer, you get more fuel and a better burn, thereby
increasing power. As I have stated many times, I did it
and also went up two main jet sizes to richen the
mixture even more! I definately notice better accelleration.
