Is there an easy way to adjust the fuel mixture screw? i had to take alot of my plastic off and loosen the 2 hoses that go to the carbuerator then i had to turn my carb sideways to adjust it!

i use a really thin, small skrew driver and i can get to it from the right side of the bike. its not really easy, but easier than taking off the plastic. by the way, make sure your header isn't hot when doing this.

the skrewdrivers i use is really thin. it is probally only 5mm think at the handle. it is probally 4 inches long or so. its tough, but it can be done.
