Adjusting cold idle..do I have to remove...
Do I have to remove the A/C backplate for proper setting of the cold idle or is it simply recommended in order to easier access the cold idle adjusting screw. I can get to the screw without removing the backplate and would like to be able to adjust it without the hassle of having to remove it.

Easy
Bro~n~law has a 2000 with MM EFI. He has what looks like Screamin Eagle air intake, and a stock cover over it. He put a slight bend in the middle of his T-10 driver, and now doesn't even have to take the cover off to adjust the cold idle screw. He can just reach in with the cover/filter on, bike running or off. For this adjustment to have any effect whatsoever, the bike's Engine Temp Sensor (ETS) must be in fine working condition, or the ECU will never call for cold idle to begin with.
(Of course, gettin to and adjusting the warm idle screw is a whole 'nother matter)
