I have a 1996 gsf600s bandit, the idle screw won't turn out, the spring holds it from turning out any. The bike has no room to get any leverage on the crappy little knob. Does anyone know a trick to not have to tear the carbs off the bike?|||Guardrailjim has given you good advice as usual on how to loosen the idle adjustment screw. Regarding your new problem, it is probably time for a tune-up. I suspect that your carbs are in need of synchronization, could possibly also be a tight valve(s). If you end up going to a shop for a tune-up request both procedures.|||Spray the threads with penetrating oil.
Stick both index fingers at the knob.
One finger - roll the knob away from you.
The other finger - roll the knob towards you.
Or use a screw driver.
Push the knob to roll it and use a finger on the other side of the screw to roll the knob in the other direction.
