Chuck for gods sake man! I didn't know you had a thread going on this. Why didn't you call me like I told ya. Anyway. First off Wired George is an idiot. IDIOT. 110s?? 17.5??? 17.5 should never have been in those carbs. Too big! 110 is two sizes two big for stock. I wouldn't trust him to clean my headlight let alone my carbs. Anyone who says they can tune carbs to perfection without the bike they go to being there is full of ****! I don't care if he has the exact same bike. There are too many factors in state of tune from bike to bike to get them right on a bench. He may get you close (not) but not perfect as he claims. Hack. I didn't know you'd sent them to him either or I would have told ya right off you were in for it.
Anyway. Chuck those other jets in the trash. Or save em for a piped bike. The 17.5s are pretty much useless unless you maybe have pods and a pipe but even then you should be good with stock pilots.
I agree with Ed. 1 turn out is too close. The bike will tell you where they need to be like I said, but you have to go slow and you have to listen. If you get frustrated turn it off and walk away for a bit. I'm talking minute changes in idle speed.
You need to do proper plug chops. Running it up the highway will have you in all circuits and give you an over all reading, which is helpful to a point. But if you want to see what a particular circuit is doing, you need to only run in that circuit. That requires marking off your throttle positions (nothing to do with RPM!) and running the bike up the road only in that position then hitting the killswitch before changing position. Do a search lots of info on it. A plug chop will show you exactly whether that circuit is rich or lean or good. Don't go crazy trying to make it perfect or you'll spend a week. Just close. They all work hand in hand.
But, I would t bother with any of this if you've not done a valve adjustment.

that was one of the things I showed you to double check.
