I immediately turn off the choke as soon as it fires up

Ok shakedown went well, it just rained enough before I went to make everything slippery :roll: but the bike worked well. A few things came loose and I lost one brake m/c bolt but on the whole it was good. Power was awesome on the pipe and down low was good but I'm still fiddling with the air screw and pilot jetting.
Question. Does anyone's bike hunt at idle? Mine is until it settles down is that bad?

your lean on one circuit. when you come to a idle, its takes just a second or two to get fuel back. try moving the needle clip down one.
