[QUOTE="C5Performance, post: 139661, member: 2938"] We have certainly seen lean jetting in the Goldwings up to 3100 rpm (as I recently posted). If you have to install more than one shim (we call them a full shim or half shim but I never measured thickness) then I agree with them ... you need a different needle or needle jet. I've never played with this on Wings because I ride aggressively and dont stay at that rpm long, but we have done much shimming of needles on snowmobiles. I would highly suggest you have an EGA test done to your engine. It's worth the investment if your problem doesn't go away with the shims. [/QUOTE]
