Hey Ron!
When the shop did the tweaking on my carbs, the mech used the exhaust gas analyzer to get them set. Unfortunately, I don't recall what the numbers were (I think the front cylinder was .2 higher than the rear). I do know that most, but not all of the popping disappeared and the throttle was much more linear from idle to red line. Previous to the adjustment, it was like a turbo was kicking in at around 3500 rpm.

Greetings

There about 2,340,284,603,856,023,582,0358 threads on jetting and carburation but I am wondering with all of this if anybody has actually tested exhaust gas? and if so what kind of results have you seen? What did you expect and why? Did you do your own testing or did you take the bike to a shop?

Inquiring minds need to know.
