If screw is on the side towards the mouth of the carb it's an air screw and in for rich, out for lean.
If directly under the carb close to the engine side of the float bowl then its a fuel mixture screw and out for rich, in for lean.

Realize that this pilot adjustment is just for minor tweaking of the mixture at idle and just off. It is NOT for adjusting mixture through the majority of the bikes running range.
Since the bike has pod filter and a header it's critical to pull the carbs and take an inventory of all the jets (pilot and main, as well as check the needle position), and then adjust as needed. Simply trying to tweak the pilot screw to fix the bike is not advised since you are just guessing. Get the jet numbers and then go from there.
