The air screw adjustment is the single best thing you could do to this bike. Took about an hour. I did run into a vacuum leak using the stated hose size for the pigtails and the marginal spring clamps from the local auto parts store. The baro wouldn't seal. I ended up using the factory hose...
Yes the wire needs to be grounded. I did try without grounding the green wire that only allowed access to diag function only. I didn't want to disturb the wire harnesss so I used a straight pin to back probe the connector the used a jumper wire to ground. I took the bike out for a ride it...
Hmm reread my post. I fully endorse/encourage everyone to get the factory manual. Just not the California edition as it is lacking some cool info. I would rather have the co adjustment then how to tell if the evaporate canister is crack and needs to be replaced.

I had scheduled to have my ST first service done at the dealer but I was racking up too many miles. I also read the thread about the rear diff possibly being low. I just inspected my ST to find the water pump has a small seeping issue from the rubber hose coming from the pump itself so still...

Just wanted to pop in and give a big thumbs up on the sticker kit. Sent an email within a day I had my stickers. Just installed them today super easy the only problem now is what to do with the bottle of baby shampoo. Looks like no more tears in the shower.
Thanks again
