How do you diagnose a need to increase a pilot jet?
I bumped up a main a number of steps to compensate for my news pipes and an airbox drilling that I'm doing soon. And my bike is getting harder to start. I raised the idle speed, which helped. But I'm wondering if a pilot jump would help.

I bumped my Pilot to a 45...this was mostly due to performance at the low end...and popping (bad) on decel...

try changing your F/A mix first if you get beyond 3-1/2 turns out, time to consider new pilots

What Rob said or the dyno. The dyno chart tells you exactly what is going on when.
