So, is that 2 turns out from the bottom, or 5 (the stock 3, plus 2)?

Do you have calipers? I can give you the gap between the arm and hub. I'd have to measure when I get home.

Thanks, will try that out.
I've also been running it as rich as it'll run, so it may not be hitting enough rpms to switch it yet. Later this week I'm going to start leaning it out. Zoommmm.

10x can you tell me something about droop settings. The original settings are for 66mm tires so if I have 63mm now should I decrease the droop by 3mm after I readjust the ride height
