Well I Drilled out the plug for the mixture screw today and got it set to 2 1/2 turns out... or as close as I could. I wanted to know if anyone has thought of a way to adjust while the airbox is still on the bike?

I took a jewelers screwdriver and cut it short with a dremel. Then took an old little screwdriver handle and cut it small ebough to fit, then heated up the jewelers screwdriver and melted it into the new handle. Voila an new air adjustment screwdriver that fit without removing the stock airbox.

They also sell a "thumbscrew" idle adjustment screw. About $20-$25. Works well.
