needle shim modification

I finally did the needle shim mod last week. I did the 16 tooth sprocket one day and the needle shim the next. I like the lower gearing with the 16 tooth

but definitely felt a lack of power. The needle shim brought that power back and my mpg has improved about 4 mpg. One thing I don't believe was mentioned

in the "How To" was : Loosen clamps in front and back of the carb. Then tilt the top of the carb to the right side(normal riding position) for better access.
