Question on mixture screw, 2006 1200

What size jets are installed?
Is the motor stage 1, i.e. high flow A/C and exhaust?
Bike year and mileage?
Has it always had bad mileage or did it just start?
What mileage do you get cruising 60-65 on the highway?

+1 - But the idle mixture screw is going to have minimal effect on gas mileage.

If your getting 29 mpg on the highway, you need to drop the carb bowl and find out what jets are installed.

your pipes are not helping either...
i would FIRST check for vac leaks... using carb cleaner around the intake seals @ the head... if the engine picks up speed then you have a leak there!
Then i would pull the carb and intake replace the seals and go through the carb make sure of your jets and make sure the CV slide goes up and down smooth... and makes a "woosh" sound... if it just slams shut you may have a problem.
Good slide
bad slide
that should get you on a good path to fix your bike...
BTW if you need parts to clean up the carb or jet it correctly try:

First thing I'd check would be the plugs. If they're showing a rich condition you'll know to start with the carbs mixture set up (jets, mixture screw, slide, etc.). If the plugs show good or lean, you'll be looking for more of a leak or float adjustment. I've seen guys running with a leak through the drain/vent tube and never noticed anything but the poor mpg.
