mixture screws adjusted evenly?

[s10nova]

R both the mixture screws that are on  :angel:both sides of the idle adjustment screw supposed to be adjusted evenly..or the same?? I'm pretty sure they r or am I wrong? Like 3 turns out on one side..ththen the same on the other side..I ask cuz my bike seems to wanna die like when coming down from say 60 mph...clutch in..start downshifting and shell wanna idle down to nothing and die..so i finally looked at the mixture screws and one was like 2 turns in. And the other was way out like flush with the lips of the hole its screwed into so I adjusted the other one out the same...seems its helped it some ..

I think flush to the hole is way more than 3 turns.  In fact it sounds like it would be in danger of falling out.  What pilot jets are you running?  Also, when was the last time your valve clearances were checked?

Pilots..not sure..its got the dyno jet stage 3 kit..and valves...yeah.....about that.....umm..I never have..I need to...bike has 25xxx miles..I.got it.with 21xxx...in spring of 2010..so on the screws say screw them l the way in then come out 3 to start and tune fro there ?

You absolutely need to check your valves, or have them checked.

Typically, all the way in and then 2-3.5 turns out on the mixture screw.  However, you also need to check your pilot jets.  Most people here run 40s.  This will also affect the mixture at idle.  The larger the pilot jet, the fewer turns out you should need I believe.
