Thanks! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your folks too.

Your 4000+ altitude will reduce the effect of the typical lean jetting these bikes get from the factory. You still may need a needle shim, and there is variability in the whole package, so you may really need to go to a 42 pilot and a 120 main jet. Maybe the best thing to do is just give it a try as is!
