I haven't done anything to the carbs. When I pulled the plugs, they were light brown, not black, so I don't think its too rich, but I could be wrong. It requires choke to start if its been sitting for a while even in the summer. I usually shift about 4-5,000 rpm(redline is 12,000). I wouldn't say I baby it away from stoplights, but I usually stick with the flow of traffic. I tuck down as much is as comfortable, I think I'd need to switch to lower bars to tuck lower. Last time on the freeway, I did 75-80, I could have slowed down but I had a deadline.
