Been waiting for that for months! plus #8 is on the pass side so it will be easy to remem . Here's a good read (5 min) I would checkout "ring breakin" at www.mototuneusa.com b 4 you fire it live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

The adj will not change more than an insignificant amt (if that) from a R&R but excessive turning will cause a prob from excessive wiping. Also have the batt up/several squirts in the carb/ign timing @10 BTDC & be sure the box is firing live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth
