Hi All,
Now that the weather has warmed up, I find that my newly restored Shadow is running poorly. The carbs are set for sea level using the recommendations in the Rider's Handbook. The machine runs well cold, but gets worse as it warms up. I am thinking of dropping the needles a notch, but I'm a bit leanaphobic. I live at 5,000 feet, and tend to ride higher. CR= 8.0:1, stock carbs with new jets and needles etc. VOCSC spiral muffler, K&Ns. Thanks for any suggestions.
