Just a thought from someone who has seen this a million times over.
Do you mean that even if you are adjusting by the 'seat of the pants' you should use a bar guage as well? Or that I should ignore the seat of the pants feel and only set it to factory spec by using a bar guage?

When I had it reconditioned they set it up all hard(ish)-shifting like this (intentionally) which was presumably different to the factory spec.
