Throttle body adjustment screws

[BMWDavid]

My '02 LeMans idles just a bit low (950) so I thought I would bump it up a bit using the left throttle body, throttle stop screw. Just how tight are these screws? Using a small hex key wrench (2.5mm) I could not get the screw to turn. Mind you I did not lay into it as I did not want to damage the fitment of the hex key to the screw.

 

OK...bike was still warm from a ride so I tried again. While still pretty tight the stop screw did move with a bit of force on the hex key wrench. There is still yellow goop on the screw head and I guess it acts as a thread locking compound.

Yeah, chip off the yellow goop. It is there to A) detect tampering, or B ) show you where the tamper points are.

 

Idle speed is really best addressed starting with the "Decent Tune-up."  Once performed, the idle can be put where ever you like with the left idle stop screw.
