2020 has 3 modes, atleast the USA medium. Road, Rain and Off road. I find little difference between Road and Rain. Off Road disables the rear ABS and to me has quicker throttle response.

Sure, I can take set up the lambda sensor and take a reading if you think the trim setting could cause my symptoms. The manual made it sound like it only affected idle.

I still have the one from my ‘96 Cali from when I replaced it with a 15M from a later Cali. PM me if you’re interested. It was working when I removed it. 
But It never ran good with the P8 factory map burning modern fuel with alcohol.
There was a hack where you put a resistor with the temperature sensor to make it read colder and run richer.

I haven't found you set it by seat of pants. That's why they make tools.

The timer had the typical divot at the bolt hold down area.  It was quite minor and shallow, which is another indicator this is a low mile bike. 

I figured I might as well make it right for the next owner so I skin cut the divot out.

I don't spend much time below 3K on my local roads, this symptom happens everywhere in the rev range. If I close the throttle at 6K it bucks forward like someone grabbed the front brake.

I did give the trim screw a solid go. Road up and down my road with it set to 50%, 75%, and 100% without much change. Below 50% it's too lean to idle. I do have a remote lambda setup I could take readings from if I need to, just a bit of pain to set up.

Buy a ColorTune to set the idle mixture on the ECU, it's a glass bottom spark plug. To adjust the flame, watch it go from orange to blue. Much cheaper than an O2 sniffer for exhaust. It will make a big difference to get it correct. Controls up to 2500rpm and more.

This bike hasn't been registered since 2006, so more like 20 years later
