Jetting!!! Again and again and again!

I got my bike pulled apart so I could get to the spark plug and carb.  Here is the plug:



I tried to shut off the motor at the moment it was bogging, but I'm not sure I got that done.

The carb was setup with the following:

Main 170
Pilot 50
Needle in the 3rd position from the top, but it was a R1469M, not the stock R1369N
Air Screw was set at 1 1/2 turns

Any thoughts?

umberto:
The carb is a Keihin PKW, and the part number on the side is V563EG03.  Does anyone know if that is the stock carb?

I found this one on eBay, and the number is different:

Plug chop.  I think there's enough room in the field to do this if you want.
I'll go get my 2004 carb. give me a minute.

Danger4u2:
There is one for sale on ebay, says it's for an 88 KX500.

umberto:
Sandblaster's awesome interchange list says that the carb I have is off a 90-93 KX 500 (if I'm reading it correctly).  The 88 carb on eBay says V396, which matches the list as well.
