Go back to his site and download the manual for your bike somewhere onto your 'puter. It's in there, at least it was when I downloaded it a few months ago. Actually, just about everything is in there.

It's a good thing to check. My floats were all off +- 5mm. Yeah, that's right around 25%.
I'm of the opinion that's one of the few reasons my bike didn't run very well when I got it.
