I have an 06 and don't have that problem. Pro Circuit and FMF have good base line jetting specs. I believe that they are based off a 50/50 premium to race fuel mix. Digger has good specs as well. I will check my manual this weekend and give you his unless someone beats me to it.

im thinking it may have flooded slightly as I stalled it while I put my lid on. and took a while to get going. I haven't yet sussed a knack. it starts first kick from cold, but today was first time ive ridden it. thanks for the reply it starts without the choke and in a moment of over eagerness I tried starting with the choke hence flooding. I think

does the flooding sound plausible? it seemed to fly once it had cleared

well im off out on it this afternoon so ill see how it is with a proper blast. tbh im thinking the idle circuit is a bit rich to start with as it starts first/2nd kick from cold with no need for the choke

If it starts without the choke, the idle circuit is way too rich. Check the idle mixture screw...make sure it's set to factory spec before you try anything else. Also, make sure your air filter is clean, and I'd also recommend making certain all the air passages in the carb are clear. Lastly, remove your enrichener (choke) plunger, make sure everything's clean...no dirt, mud, or varnished gas keeping it from sealing. While you have that out, make sure the rubber pad on the enrichener valve is intact, and not worn out.
