Default Erratic Idle??

After quite a bit of experimenting, I think I have mine pretty dialed in.
130 Keihn main
N1TC needle clip in middle (3rd) position
KDX snorkel
40 pilot jet
Screw 2 turns out
Full Muzzy

I tried a 132, but it was kinda bogging. I took off the airbox, which helped with the 132 but I really don't want to run with no lid.
So, I went back one size to 130. Tried dropping to 4th position, no good back to middle. Seems perfect, plug is slightly
brown with this setup. Pulls great up to 9500 or thereabouts.

For me anyway, the 128 was just too lean.

The ONLY problem is that my idle is a little erratic (kinda wonders around between 1400 and 1700)
I can only assume that maybe, just maybe I should drop back to the 35 pilot jet? Maybe
Turn the screw a little? Which way?(in, I think.....right?)
What do you guys think?

Default RE: Erratic Idle??

My bike is the same way, if just putzing around it will idle up higher but if I've been running at 60+ for a sustained period, when I get to a stop light it will gradually idle lower and lower. I think its a case of it being too rich around idle. I just put on the UNI filter and it helped but I think I need to take the fuel screw back to 2 turns from 2.25.
