Big shiny hot thing in the sky!!!
Not sure how many of you guys will get to see this, so here's a pic of the crossing of the sun by venus!
Not the best picture I've ever taken, but I was avoiding being blined whilst using my big lens

Once you drilled the extra 2.5 mm hole (the other hole is the existing one), you could always take out the two M3x4 set screws if you do not like it.

Cheers, Mark-

All the needles are inter-related so as a guideline, what I see most engine "gurus" write/say is that with a gap of 1mm or thereabouts and with all 3 needles (LSN, MSN, HSN) set correctly, your engine should purr, growl and ROAR ... respectively!
It took me looong time to come to grips with engine tuning (and still learning a lot) but what I did experience in the past is that if you have your idle screw is set too small (less than 5mm), you *can* get a purring idle and you may even get the engine to go fast with this despite what looks like a non-optimal setting (you know how we're all good with tuning screwdrivers and various fuel brewing!) but you can bet your bottom dollar that all it takes now is the slightest change in ambient temperature or humidity and you'll be scraching your head again because the poor engine will get "cranky". If you race enough, you'll see some friends who kicks bu*t during free-practise and then have problems during the mains.

The 2106 should be standard NovaMega. KHM version would be hand modified. MS version (like JP versions of the NSR) would be factory modified.
