I have the same bike with an RPM 276cc big bore kit in it. I'm @1000ft above sea level, temps generating problems are around 60-65 degrees F.

Bike runs well once it starts, but then your too worn out to ride it@!

I have the JD jetting kit. I've tried the blue needle at clip 5 (too rich) with a 185 main and a 182 main, tried the red needle at clip 5 (too lean, but starts great! no choke, just kick 1-3 times; thing pops like crazy when you let off though and it runs HOT!), tried stock needle at clip 4 with 185 main, too lean and bike won't start, going to try stock needle at clip 5 with 185 main. Any warmer, and the 182 main will be just fine, but it's jetting for the cold weather were having now (20-50F).

JD jetting needle tends to be too rich down low for a big bore. I liked it before the big bore, but after, it just doesn't seem to work.

I let you know what I find. In general, for a big bore, you need to lean out the jetting. It's counter-intuitive, but the Vernouli effect causes more gas to get sucked in the same size venturi, even more than is needed for the increase in volumn of the cylinder.
