Mine was set at -18 when I got the bike ('06 XTX) - moved it up in +5 increments all the way to 20, keeping the tps around 16 - didn't seem to make much difference to surging.

Installed KevMod, Kev recommended setting the CO at 10 - slightly better as far as surging goes, but not a massive improvement.
