	These are all set at the factory from new, but as with the rest of
the bike tend to bed in after a while. As long as all the other parts are OK
(Correct pipe, tune, all parts working correctly) then firslty balance the
throttle bodies, then get a dealer (With a correctly calibrated CO meter) to
set the CO to match whatever tune condition you have on your bike. This
should improve the low RPM driveability.
