Bought the wife a tzr other night,but have a wee prob with it..

tick over was a bit low,so I adjusted what I thought was the tickover screw,the rpm changed a little so I went right in and out etc thinking I dont need to remember where it was originally as its only a tick over screw,but I think it was the air mixture thingy,and now the bike revs nice between 3500 to 8500 , but beneath and over that its dodgy/boggy

Is there a set ( ish ) rule for how many screws in from fully open ?

on the carb there is a screw flat facing the side,and another screw entering the carb at 45 degrees..

please help if you can

cheers

One and a half turns out from fully closed is usually a good place to start. Don't do it up really hard to find fully closed! - just turn it till it stops, then back out a turn and a half. There's some useful links about setting up Dellortos on www.ducatimeccanica.com - scroll about two thirds of the way down.
