Pilot Screw Adjustment
Pluggy:
Dan, look at the Honda Service Manual Page 17-8. If you have access to a timing light, it is easy to check the ignition timing. If that is not correct, fuel economy can be bad.

Will do, thanks

That is the absolute best tool for adjusting the pilots. It's the only one that fits, you don't need to take anything off. If you want to get them set perfect, also buy a colortune plug.

+1 on that. I'm sure the Honda one would work too if you can find and afford it!
I also have a pit posse one that will not fit without removing stuff. That defeats the purpose.
As you noted, you can pull an intake, and use a D tool.
I use the Gunson Colortune along with my senses such as smell, and temperature, and adjust with the engine running.

I made the mistake buying the pit posse one as well trying to save a few bucks, buy once cry once with the motion pro one. What ever you do don't go and cut slots into the pilots! I'm curious if the bikes made for over seas also had the D shaped pilot since they were only required in the USA.
