Idle mixtuer screw setup was created by pyxen
Hi,
When setting the idle mixture screws, is the proper process to adjust all of the screws a bit at a time, or is it better to adjust one at a time, while looking for max rpm on each one?
I can't seem to get a straight answer out of any of the shops around here, so I gues I'll have to do it myself.
Thanks.

If you ask a shop how to perform a maintenance procedure that they would normally charge a customer to perform, you are surprised they didn't want to tell you how to do it? hehe I guess I should charge you at least a $.25 for this info since I do this for a living but you do each carburetor one at a time... let the bike idle and adjust each mixture screw in turn for maximum rpm; if you need to, turn down the idle with the idle knob between carbs. Once complete, it is a good idea to resync.

Everything worked out really nicely, btw..very sweet response @ all RPM, and definitely warms up/gets to idle a lot faster than before.
