under the left side of the gas tank you will see i black knob/screw at the end of what looks like a hose. the knob faces the rear of bike. that adjusts the idle. its real easy to find and the only adjustment you can make to the carbs.

Did you try taking down the fork seal and cleaning out with wd/40 and a piece of 30mm film? You should always try this first. The seals rarely go bad. There's probably just a vary small rock holdeing it open and the film will dislodge it the wd is just to help things along.

remove each fork leg from the bike,remove the dust cap from over the fork ctaunchion,you should see a retaining circlip inside the fork staunchion,remove this(and dont lose it),to remove the seal you can do it two ways,1 drill a small hole on either side of the seal(through the seal) thread in a self tapping screw and the seal will come out,or 2,stab a screwdriver through the seal on each side and lever it out,when you go to put the new seal in put a smear of grease around the seal first this makes it a lot easier to reinstall and will minimise any damage to the new seal,reinstall the circplip,then dust cover and put fork back into bike,this all sounds complicated but is actually quite simple to do ,should take about 2hrs from start to finish,hope this helps

On the top and bottom parts of the triple tree either both or one will have bolts. First take the fender off. Take the front tire off. Loosen the bolts on the triple tree. They should slide down. If not you have to get a rubber mallet and tap on the top of the fork and twist the fork as you are doing this. Once it is out, pull the dust seal off the top of the lower fork. There will be a clip inside, take the clip off drain the oil out of the top or bottom depending on how the forks are made. Push the fork tube down into the lower fork slightly, pull both apart with a firm tug and they should separate.
