Default How to get a LITTLE bit more air into the ratio?

bike is running really good most of the time...
- (idle) I'm running steady 12.5-13.5 's
- (0--1/4) throttle running like 12's
- (1/2 -- near full) throttle I think its like 12-14's

maybe not a big issue but I noticed just a TINY bit above 1/4 throttle
will start hitting 11s...so I want to get some more air into the ratio (id rather run a more lean anyways.)
also feels little more jerky on decel but might just be regular.


so how can I add a tiny increase in air into the whole thing? preferably without buying anything...or at least buying something cheap.
will I go too lean with snorkel delete?

In the strictest sense, a tiny bit above 1/4th throttle, held steady, is likely still flowing A/F thru the pilot system's transition ports as well as some from the main jet system with the butterfly and slide still closing off most airflow creating a high vacuum signal to both fueling circuits - So don't do that..

Otherwise, the proper way to attempt to address this would be to raise the clip on the needle 1 notch at a time - this will lean out main jet system fueling at lower throttle settings.. There is no way to "increase air" at just that one point of throttle position..

I'm looking to just add more air in general (not just at specific throttle positions) but just slightly ..I dont want to lean it till I basically end up at the stock ratio again.
I'm starting to sense that the settings are all just slightly richer than it needs to be, thats why I'm asking.

Is the bike stock and if not what mods are you running?

Don't run the bike with a steady throttle at 25% - 28%.. Doing this odd operation, along with your AFR gauge, has shown this to be an anomaly with CVK fueling..

Pull out the snorkel for "more air"..
