First bike 2003 Shadow ACE 750 - running rich
-
Haven't ridden in 20+ years and never owned, having a blast and learning tons (many thanks to TJ).
I need to de-tune/rejet and need advice.
Bought modded bike that never needs the choke to start. Can't complain that I have a bike that starts and idles every time but my mileage is not great and slow speed power is a tad sluggish compared to mid-high throttle. No actual running issues (bogs, wierd idle, throttle RPM float/lag), but it does smell a bit more of fuel than I'd like.
Bought with Cobra straight pipes and spike air intake. Bike was too loud so got these chaepies on Amazon, worked good enough:

I have an ebay stock air intake on order since the spike is in the way and TJ says they make turbulence in airflow.
Even with straight pipes it was starting with no choke, I'm assuming either float level wrong and/or pilot jet too big.
With the baffled exhaust and going back to stock intake I'd need a stage 1 jet setup? Bike is likely stage 2 or 3 currently.
