Shiny, there are 4 air/fuel mixture screws on my DOHC carbs, and one idle adjust knob.

I believe stock on the DOHC is 1 1/2 turns out for all 4 air/fuel mix screws.  If you've done anything non-stock like mufflers or pods this will have to be adjusted (and of course you know this).  I'm currently waiting for a 90 degree screwdriver to arrive in the mail before I can properly tune my air/fuel ratio.

Idle adjust knob was just turned until I got the idle to where I wanted it once the bike warmed up.

Doing a quick search it seems that the SOHC's have an idle adjust knob as well.

Also, I'm not 100% sure if I'm calling them the right names.  If anyone knows, please chime in.
