My '01 had carb issues and would not idle and fouled plugs every ride. I went through the carb and cleaned it, spent a lot of time setting the float bowl hieght. Then set the the air screw at 1.75 turns out. The idle was set just so it would idle (I don't remember how many turns out, but I think it was 2.5 to 3).

My bike will idle easily now. I also did change the packing on the muffler as mine was packed full of oil.

If I foul a plug now it is once every 8-10 rides. The bike is a lot crisper and more snappy off idle then it ever has been.
