The air screw is indeed a significant (putting it mildly) piece of the puzzle. It's likely [b]more[/b] of an issue on a modified carb (as from rb-designs). I do it a bit differently, though: ;) [list] [*]I carry my screwdriver in my crossbar pad [*]I've found 1/16 turn to make huge differences [/list] Certainly it is something that I change often during a single ride depending on elevation, temps and the [b]type[/b] of response I'm after. It takes just a bit of a tweak to the air screw to reduce front wheel pop-up in nastier stuff, or put it back in if I want to be picking the front end up on a regular basis. It is indeed a fine tuning device. Take that either way you want. Oh..keep in mind that an air screw adjustment will likely NOT be fully evident immediately. Don't adjust it, blip the throttle once in 2nd gear over a 10' distance, decide you need to adjust it some more. Run it for 30 seconds or so to get the carb settled on your new setting before you change it again. Once you know how it responds, you can dial it in as easily as setting your microwave to an exact 'seconds' setting to perfectly reheat that warm, very warm, cool or plain cold cuppa. [/QUOTE]
