Assume that was (well-deserved) sarcasm. As I mentioned, I broke the first rule of troubleshooting, changing more than one factor.

1) My riding skills and confidence are a lot higher now that I'm approaching the 1K mark.
2) I've adopted a "wind" crouch (chin on speedo, knees and elbows tucked around the tank.
3) Bike may be getting "broken in."

One thing I have noticed is the bike runs faster after it is really warmed up. Not just a few minutes, but after about 20 minutes of steady riding at speed. I didn't notice anything worth reporting and I'm inclined to believe the comments that is doesn't make a difference. Last time I had to use it was in a Datsun 310 that pinged going up hills.
