I have read somewhere that there is an extended pilot screw with a
knurled end, so that you can adjust the pilot screw with your
fingers. Now I cannot find the reference. Anyone know where to get
these? Are they any good?
Thanks!

If you expect to adjust the mixture a lot then I have no doubt the
big thumbscrew would be a good thing.
Maybe you cross altitudes and like to be able to at least adjust the
idle mix to compensate.
I can't put a date on the last time I adjusted the mixture on my bike,
but I think it was at least four years ago.

Hey don't ya feel foolish when you catch yourself doing that? I waved at the
folks on dual sport bikes at Biktoberfest and they all looked at me like I
had a screw loose (true). Caught myself wavin in a car to, and figured I was
lookin kinda foolish, like the guy on the bike must be thinkin': "Hey, what
kinda loser was that waving at me from his car, geez, whatta loser..."
Been there done that Myk,
