Why couldn't you reach the 1+2 screw? Was it akward to get at or couldn't you just see it? Looking at the diagram in the manual, it looks to be positioned ok for access. Are you using the right tool?? For stuff like that you need the proper tools IMO. I bought a cheapie carb adjustment screwdriver for £10 and as Red98 said, a good headmount torch is invaluable to get light into those nooks and crannies while keeping your both hands free to work with. The head torch is one of my best buys actually because I sometimes do the odd quick adjustment at night outside my house when needed.
I could see it fine but I couldn't get the damned screwdriver near it as the coil packs were in the way. Even with dislodging the bar they are connected to and wiggling it around there just wasn't enough room. I have NGK leads on the bike which may well be a bit shorter than OEM so I couldn't move the bar back far enough
The NGKs must be the problem so. I did my carbs and fitted the K&N today and I had no problem reaching all the screws when I pull back the bar with OEM leads.
The K&N works a treat too.
