I'm in SW CO, we've been riding around 9k and up to 11k. I have had to lean the bike out a lot to get it running well. I have taken baby steps to get here, but I'm real happy right now.
I just posted my jetting in the jettiing database. I agree there is a lot of variation between bikes. I am quite a bit leaner than most, but I think I am riding a bit higher than most. I'm a bit of a lugger, I spend most of my time riding rocks. Traction is more important than power. Have a nice trip.
