No offence but your dyno guys dont sound to clued up on these bikes, it may run ok but its far from right. Being able to start with no choke is a big sign its not right and RVF carbs run the same jets all round

Aye. That is too rich and needs to be closer to 13/1 ratio and could possibly go higher still.

Just reading it again, so they made it even richer? red line - old. Blue line = new?

I'd not be amused to be honest as that is costing you in fuel and probably causing that stutter/roughness at the midrange.

Because its not right is it, its acceptable on heavily modded bikes with non standard intake systems but on a standard setup its a sign somethings not right. Plenty about it all over the V4 section.

You can see from the graph it is not right. It is far far too rich.

I do not disagree with that lol. That's plain obvious.
But my question is, why does an RVF starting without choke indicate a problem?

it is because running too rich is a problem and a symptom of that is that you don't need a choke to start it.

So, if we never saw that graph, we'd be saying it is too rich as it starts with no choke.

Sorry mate don't mean to sound like a prick, but, just because a vehicle starts first go with no choke, does not in anyway suggest that it runs rich!

LOL I was just in the process of pulling out my plugs and they're all tanned nicely. It starts no choke.
