I need to adjust my factory air fuel screw. Is it as easy as turning the phillips head screw?
It appears there are 2 screws. Is it the first or second one closet to the out side of the bike.
2008 crf250x

Is there a tool I can buy to adjust this?
I have seen some from Motion pro but I need to make sure I get the correct one.
Can I adjust this while its on the bike??

If yours is the Dshaped one , then there is a tool , or you can use a jiffy adjuster by using a RED wire crimp butt connector (for joining 2 wires together) , you just heat it and place it on the screw real quick , then let it sit and cool , it will form the D shape and your done , otherwise , it should be a thin , skinny flat screwdriver

The aftermarket screws are much easier to use without loosening and tilting the carb for adjustments , i personally like and use on both my bikes , the Flex Jet , it goes near the outside of the carb by your idle screw , and you can reach down and adjust it while your riding , or you can just get any of the extended screws that have knobs on them

Flex Jet:(i think its the best and easiest to use)

D Tool: (not for adjusting while riding)

T-Handle type fuel screw: (you can reach under the carb to adjust , but is easier to find when off the bike)
