It requires a manometer or vacuum gauge for that adjustment.

Last week, took apart the bike.
Air Filter was extremely dirty (black gunk and falling apart), replaced with UNI foam filter, Carbs were gunky and orange, carb cleaner all that. Spark plugs ran rich and were corroded, NGK replacements. Oil was dark and gunky, replaced with SYN motor oil. Oil filter has some crust in it, replaced with K&N oil filter. It was horrible,; a complete mess.
Cleaned out everything. tried to put it back together and rubber rings didn't fit anymore. So decided to order re-build kit.
Stupid dealer ordered me the wrong part. I have a ZX6r and the got me a ZX600 or something. (wasted $100) Following day, I install what parts I could from the kits. (bad idea considering I didn't know it wasn't the correct parts)
Bike run for a minute, then stopped. (DIY mechanic dream crushed!)
Finally, it's in the shop. Mechanic says the kit was wrong. (good thing I keep the old stuff)
Mechanic fixed everything and bike is running now. I also had a carb leak which put gas in my motor oil. Synthetic motor oil I just added. (wasted $45)
The bike is running, that's all that matters.
Total wasted cost: $100 re-build kit, $45 Syn motor oil, $345 labor = $ 490
All it needs now is a bath. especially a chain cleaning. Kerosene and some matches.
I'm putting speakers on my bike. Ebay: Mitzu 300 watt amp w/ tweeters w/ mp3 jack. I'm going to add some 4" speakers. I'll keep ya'll posted on that project.
