Remember the main jet only comes into play at about 3/4 throttle. Most of your riding will be affected by the pilot jet. I attached some easy information for you.

Go to the NightRider website - www.nightrider.com - and click the 'Motorcycle Performance Guide'. On the right side of that page there is a long list that includes 'CV Carburetor'. Click and read the 'Modifying the CV Carb' and 'Tuning the CV carb'.
Very good info that should get you what you want.
