what is the sweet spot for pilot jet screw adjustments, I 'm about to take the carb intake manifolds to get to the screw and adjust them!
Well that may not be as simple of a question as you think. I will elaborate. The below screen shot is from the Honda Service Manual. Note the part I highlighted.
So, if you KNOW the pilot screws have never been adjusted since the factory, Honda says leave them alone. If you were to rebuild carbs; count the turns and put them back where they were.
IF they have been replaced or adjusted to some unknown point, the screen shot shows the Initial settings based on model and year. If you go with that, the manual has an RPM drop test procedure to perform. If you are at a higher altitude, you adjust for that after the drop test.
You can usually download the Honda Manual, but when I checked the Norway site was down.

Mooskee@gmail.com I will provide it for you.
I have also rewritten the RPM drop test procedure in a more understandable fashion. I can provide that to you as well.
To add to the controversy, there are other options:
- Gunson Colortune is an option.
- Some say to just set the pilots at 2 turns out from lightly seated. The bike will run fine and save you
a lot of time and work an a very hot engine.
If you just want to have a phone conversation about it, email me or PM me, and we will chat.
