Really? My impression was that 28 is the smallest one. So then, if changing the blue ring on enricher nozzle doesn't help, I should probably try even smaller intermediate

Not sure just how small they go but a 265 is actually a .0265 and you have a .0280 in it now. What do the plugs look like after a gentle ride and immediatley shutting off the engine and looking at the plugs and then running it hard and immedialtely shutting off the engine. Do not let it idle before you pull the plugs.

The plugs look normal - slightly brownish. But the bike feels kinda "dry" when accelerating (not sluggish, but really dry - the best word I can find). So this still makes me to assume - a bit less than a turn is not right.
