Welcome to the world of carburetors. Once you have it setup well for where you live, it should do ok most of the time, but a drastic enough change in the climate and it will start to misbehave - I.E. If you set it up on a 90 degree day and a few months later you go to ride on a 40 degree day, it may act a bit lean and vice versa. This is why it's recommended to have an assortment of jets on hand.
Once you figure out the right combo, usually you can get by without tinkering too much, but it is just the nature of the beast. Don't let it discourage you too much though. These carbs are easy to access, and even easier to swap jets on
