JETTING FOR COLD DESERT RIDING?
Current specs are 155/45, resulting in good performance, nice brown colored plug and acceptable spooge emission. However, these symptoms were found in 68 degree plus weather. Now I plan on a venture to the desert this weekend and the temps are expected to be around 38-45 degrees. Since a large portion of the time will be spent traversing steep hills and sand washes, read wide open much of the time, I am considering the use of stock OEM jetting specs. Any comments?

I'd second bradf's suggestion. OEM jetting is rich enough to handle WOT in the desert as long as your not in Death Valley. Your fuel mileage will however suck. I wouldn't plan on more than 40mi from the tank.
