Ok, first of I searched, I swear!
I'm rejetting my bike this weekend, I think I'm good with everything.... How do I shim the needle, I've got the #4 washers. Does anyone have a pic of it? Or a good step by step? Is this pic link correct? http://www.angelfire.com/mt2/mikesgs500/rejetting/
Sorry I've been drinking wine...mmmm.
Thanx in advance

The photo is correct.  The washer goes between the circlip and the plastic spacer.
Every zero you add to the tolerance adds a zero to the price.

If the product "fails" will the product liability insurance pay for the "failure" until it turns 18?

Remember to put the main jet in first and test it with full throttle. If it is ok then go play with needle. If you do everything at one time and something is not right, you won't know who to blame.
