Rick, you are correct on the carb air screw adjustment since I had RB Designs modify my carb.

Firffighter, you noticed my ultra-stealth small screw driver zip-tied to my subframe. It works great on standard carbs without the RB Design adjuster screw and front/rear suspension clickers. The rear shock can be tricky but still accessible to turn the rebound adjuster screw. It also is good for bleeding the fork screws if you don't have the quick-bleeder valves.

Moto7man, I always paint mark my bolts/nuts. It provides a quick visual to see if any has loosened. Plus, when I disassemble and re-torque the bolts/nuts, typically my torque wrench is clicking off very close to the previous mark as a double-check for me.
