The best way to jet a bike is by seat of the pants, and reading the spark plug burn.
i can do neither, but I can put you in the ball park.
Before going into, or adjusting the carburetor, the following should be checked ...
clean air filter
de-carboned exhaust pipe (clean and free flowing)
NGK B8ES ... or equivalent spark plug
Points/timing to factory specs
air leaks ... around crank seals and the carb's mounting flange
~ Remove, disassemble, and clean the carb
~ If your vin number is above #003000, purchase a small carburetor O-ring ... part number 93210-04121 >>> if vin is below # 003000, order O-ring # 93210-06120
Because air density is affected by altitude, temperature and humidity, there could be a range of jets and adjustments needed to cover the various conditions.
At 5300 feet, here are my suggested starting points:
~ Winter from -10 to 40 degrees . . . stock 150 main jet, air screw 1 1/2 turns out
~ Spring/Fall from 40 to 60 degrees . . . 145 main jet, air screw 1 3/4 turns out
~ Mild Summer from 60 to 80 degrees . . . 140 main jet, air screw 2 turns out
~ Severe Summer between 80 and 100+ degrees . . . 135 main jet, raise needle clip to 2nd slot, 27.5 pilot jet, and turn air screw out 2 1/4 turns from seated position
Replace the old jet setter O-ring with the new one you acquired, put carb back together, and install
Some small adjustments may be needed to dial it in to the ideal state of tune
