Just a follow up:
She's back together and I took her out for a two-hour shakedown ride. I found mid grade ethanol-fee gas about 12 miles from my house. In violation of the "never change more than one thing at a time" rule, I also installed the FMF Gnarly Woods pipe and TurbineCore2 silencer. (I had been running the stock units to this point.)
I aborted my first shakedown ride after the bike would not idle. It would load up when off the throttle. The key was how it WOULD idle OK once I shut off the petcock. I had the float height set as close to the factory 16mm as I could, so I changed it to 17.5, still within the 16+-2mm spec. Still wondering why this was necessary. The exhaust change or the fuel change should not have impacted this should it?
And she ran great. Clean running, clearly more torque (much less clutch feathering needed to climb my familiar slow-ish trail climbs)
Thanks again, all. - Jay
