I have'nt tried anything as of yet still running it after just cleaning
it, but I do notice that while drive at semi high idle like 3grand tacking
it will do a little hopping a bit and the smooth-ness is not their. THIS has
to be the AFM also I think a worn AFM will cause a little jump in idle.

if i'm wrong thats ok still learning this monster. ;)

thanks everyone your help means alot to me and others.
