2 turns has always given me the best idle.  Maybe a quarter turn in either direction for the major temp change from spring through winter. Really steady.

*UPDATE

After my first real ride into work - bike is running great.  Really smooth.  I feel like I've had a HP or two more before but who knows.

My idle IS steady, but its running high and the idle adjust screw isn't winding it down at all so I may need to dial in my air screw a touch.

  How bout the cable slack??  would it help to give a little
at the adjuster on top of the carby?

Ya man.  You got it again.  The throttle cable adjuster was dialed out too far.  You are gettin' good at this long distance trouble shooting.  Thanks Baird.
