You changed the low speed and top end, but did nothing for the midrange, where you
spend your time at cruising speeds.

Yes, you lower the main because with the dynojet emulsion tube, the
emulsion is richer and a 180 dynojet main will actually be richer than a 185 stock
main and tube.

Only if they blindly follow the instructions and don't fine tune it.

Worthless. The plugs need to be checked after steady cruising speeds.
I recommend 30 mph to check the pilot jet, and 60 mph to check the midrange,
and maybe 100 mph+ to check the main.

Too many variables for a canned, black and white answer.
You just need to understand the CV and the adjustment options, and how they
work together.
