January 20, 201214 yr Hi, anybody know any reason why the original plastic idle speed screw shouldn't be replaced with an aftermarket alloy one? It seems they must have had good reason to make it out of plastic. The slot sure gets butchered in a hurry. Thanks in advance.
January 20, 201214 yr Cheaper? The spring behind is a killer too a nice little knurled knob would be good, it must be quite an accuratly turned component at the oother end. Maybe a slightly lighter spring would allow finger adjustment without compromising its function. Having said all that I have not found it necessary to make constant adjustments as the thing carburates so clean and consistently...such a pleasure from the Mikuni(?) days. Finally somebody is bound to tell you to get a good quality screwdriver etc.

January 20, 201214 yr A metal adjuster will dint the underside of the slide, plastic one doesn't ? thats the reason, plus there may be a very, very slight spark risk.
January 21, 201214 yr I have had a jitsie alloy idle screw on my 2011 evo now for well over a year with no problems! i found plastic one dificult to adjust with my sausage fingers!
January 21, 201214 yr Arn't you going to tempt us by saying where you got it! i got a pack with 4 of these at the local car shop for 2 quid m5 -25 filed the end a little and used the spring off the crappy plastic thing, can adjust it now with any flat blade screwdriver easily ,,,works ok for me,,
