The fuel screw allows more fuel through the pilot circuit. This very definitely affects low speed operation. To allow more fuel flow or richen up the bottom end, the fuel screw is turned counter-clockwise (or turned OUT). This IS richening up the bottom end. | The fuel screw allows more fuel through the pilot circuit. This very definitely affects low speed operation.

Your bike will run lean, and you will benefit w/ RICHER jetting. | In the winter, bikes run lean. Because of the lower temps and humidity, there is more O2 due to density changes.
