Cam, I think we are 500 above sea level. A friend had a 98 500 and we tried the the N82R needle in his bike with a 52 idle jet and it ran perfect. My 01 has always been rich down low. I rode at Lorretta Lynns fall ride last month and it was finally idling smooth and not loading up. I have the N82T needle in with 52 idle jet clip in 2nd slot.
It was a little lean above 1/4 throttle but I was just happy it was finally clean down on bottom. I will move clip before next ride and see whats happens.
