I found that kawasaki seals the air/fuel adjustment screws from the factory, just a little epoxy and aluminum filler thing. I removed the carbs from the bike and proceeded to remove these seals, I was quite successful in that. Then reinstall the carbs on the bike was a learning experience.
All in all I needed 1/4 turn more fuel and now my bike doesn't seem to be running lean. 1/2 turn made the mixture too rich, I might play with it more since tomorrow is supposed to be warmer where I won't freeze my butt off working on my bike.
http://www.factorypro.com was very helpful in this, they have instructions for my 500R, that is very nice to find.
hopefully next weekend will be K&N air pods and a rejetting kit. Depends on how much the gov't decides to take out this pay period.
