Sol,
If your air bleed screw is 2.5 turns out, you  have plenty of room to richen it. I usually am at about 1.5 turns out. that reduces the amount of air coming into the pilot circuit and makes it richer when you turn it in.

The oil leak at the head will sometimes happen when you run it really hard and it gets hot.
After it cools down, and you ride normally, it might go stop leaking.

Thanks Ace. I have a 30 pilot jet handy so I will give it a try. As for the oil leak, I ran full open for only 3 or 4 or maybe 5 miles. Just enough to be sure my spark plug color would be coming from the main jet. I am hoping it will heal itself. Once again your input has been a tremendous help .
The computer can't tell you the emotional story. It can give you the exact mathematical design, but what's missing is the eyebrows. FZ

mine set up the same way and running a bit of a pop on declaration too...notice it more  often when bike runs in 50 degree weather and colder...wonder if we could just take out the pilot/27.5 and drill it out one size up.
Oh Magoo you done it again

You can buy a new pilot jet for whatever size you want for about $2.50 each at your local Honda shop.
