Overheating causes high idle, normal?

[blaine]

Mine used to give me problems with the idle fluctuating when warm because it was running excessively lean.Once I did a Idle mixture (pilot jet) adjustment,no more problems.

I'm quite sure it's the mixture that's causing this. But I'm simply afraid to do something about it. For one, it's an incredibly tight space to turn a tiny screwdriver when everything around your hand is hot.
And second.. my senses are not well-trained enough to know when I got the setting right.

By the way, what the hell kind of screwdriver do you guys use for the pilot screw? And more importantly: which way do I make it leaner and which way richer?

I just use a small straight bit out of Multi-screwdriver.Clockwise (out) is rich,counter clockwise (in) is lean.Turn out slowly About 1/2 turn & you will hear the bike speed up & idle smoother with a deeper sound.
