I have my set to 75% with the same breather, no cat and debaffled pipes. Feels good to me with no popping. Set it to 50% and ride it and see what you think. 50% was to lean for mine with poor acceleration and some developed pop.
You will no when it's too lean.

OK I'll go ahead and set it to that setting. 75 was to lean for me so hopefully 50 is good. I'm running pythons with comp baffles. Minimal popping. But it's there. I'll get back with feedback. Thank man

have had mine set at 70 for over 1 year, works ok for me, helped out the excess lean condition, small amount of decel pop.

FWIW, fueling is but one variable when it comes to overheating and fuel consumption. It is possible to have the correct amount of fuel at a given setting and still have overheating or excessive fuel burning.

Having had adjustable Vieds on my last 3 bikes,I found it was better to start at 25% setting and work your way up.Remember running a catless header pipe pipe tricks the O2 sensors into thinking a leaner condition thus this adds more fuel to the engine.This is not my theory but based on actual facts.Call NightRider about recommended settings for your setup.

i've ran mine all over the place when i first brought them. after alot of trail and error i ran them at 50% on my streetglide and now at 25% on my trike. if you are still running a cat you can set them alittle higher, no cat you need to run them at a much lower setting do to reverstion in the exhaust.
