Do you have to remove your carb to adjust the air screw? I am at work so i cant look at my manual. Is it the black knob on the top left hand side, or the nob on the bottom of the carb?

Anyone got any pics

What year is your bike?

The 04/05 bikes don't have a plug over the air screw so it is able to be adjusted without removing anything. An aftermarket screw will make it much easier though like mentioned above.

I "think" they started covering the screw with a plug in 06 but i could be wrong.

It's to make external adjustments tamper resistant. It's an emissions thing. The EPA doesn't want the average joe messing with it.

You guys must be talking about the fuel screw, not the air screw. I'd pick up an aftermarket fuel screw, you can get them for around $20 and it makes it somewhat easier to adjust.
