That's the way it is on my Road Demon also. You can make that air/fuel mixture leaner by opening up the low speed air bleeds slightly. Some carbs have removable air bleeds allowing easy changes. That will require also opening the idle mixture screws a little allowing a little more of that leaned out mixture through the idle circuit. This assumes that the idle air/fuel mixture is a little too rich to begin with (as was my case).
