I hope its ok to cross post I put basically the same thing on TT... I figured since I'm one out of two or three people in the world with the 570/Mikuni combo I need all the help I can get lol!
Just go back from one of the most miserable rides of my life... I'm seriously pissed. I had to stay in second gear most of the time because the throttle was so unpredictable I didn't want to get myself hurt. My 570 runs great around the house and I thought I had the jetting nailed--afterall I've been tuning it for quite awhile now. However the very second I hit the trail its all over.
I have an un-relenting bog and horrible 1/4-3/4 throttle response. If I snap the throttle it will stumble for a second or two then either die or rev to the moon. A buuuuuu___________________________________raaaappppppp! And it is horribly inconsistent. One minute it runs somewhat decent (usually when the motor has cooled down for awhile) and the next it is horrible. Up top it clears out and scoots pretty good.
Right now I'm thinking its the needle. No matter where I set it there is a constant blubber in the 1/2-3/4 throttle and Its worse when I richen/raise the needle but I can't go any leaner because its in the top clip now.
I switched my friend (he has a 2000 TE610 with the Delortto) for awhile and his had a bog, but its a million times better than mine.
I've already spent $70 in goofy jets for this rare bird--should I bail now while I'm ahead and try tuning in a Keihin FCR? Can I even get a better needle for this bike? I'd take the Delortto anyday at this point. Any help whatsoever would be great right now,

I should add that this bike was VERY lean on the pilot jet when I took ownership. I feel I have the pilot jet and fuel screw tuned in very nice right now i.e. starts good, idles good at ~2 turns out.
