What to get rid of?

I hate to bring a four-year old topic up again...... but someone tell/show me where the mixture screws are to adjust them.

Thx,

since your bike is a U.S. destined bike, they are capped. All European bikes and maybe Canadian bikes the air/fuel screws are left open. It is easy enough though, pull the carbs off and drill out the plug. If you are looking at the carbs on a bench, float bowl side up, you will see a round tube, behind the float bowl. It is about the diameter of a pencil. There are aluminum caps in the holes.

There are 2 theories on how to remove them:
1. carefully drill them out with a bit(how I do it. Just use a slow speed on the drill)

2. Use a self tapper-drill the self tapper into the cap, then turn it back out

Thanks. but that is a little more than I feel comfortable in tackling.

I thought it was easier than that to do based on previous posters here.

it sounds much more difficult than it is. But unless you are jetting your bike, there is really no need to play with air/fuel screws (depending on what is done to the bike as it sits now)

My bike has a Stage I jet kit and full Muzzy exhaust. Like others here, it runs rough when it is 90+ degrees out and I am idling in traffic. It wants to constantly stall on me.

In the cold it runs like a beast though.

That is a rich condition.
In cold temperatures, air is more dense, so it compensates for the richness in the motor. Once the bike is hot, or in hot weather, the air is less dense, creating a rich condition.
