Thanks to all for responding. This is my first SV. Had an RC 51 last, which has spoiled me to EFI and had hoped the little SV would be just as fun, but I can't seem to get comfortable nor can I get the roughness out of the engine which is really bad at 3000 to 5000 RPM. The plugs are a little black and slightly wet. I have a 15 pilot, 2 1/4 turns out on the pilot screw, and 130 mains. The bike has a Yoshi TRS slip on. Shimming the neddle will richen the mixture. Won't that contribute to my plugs getting blacker and a less efficient burn? Any more thoughts?
