For those of us who might not have the long screw driver as shown by HydBiker in the above post, you can follow these simple steps.

The steps below are only to show you how to access the adjustment screw.

Step 1: Open the star-screw at the bottom of the DELTABOX cover on the right side of the bike.

Step 2: Open the seat to access the nut shown here.

You can use the size 10 spanner provided in the toolkit, or use a T-Spanner. It costs about 75 bucks & is a useful tool to have. (The normal spanner if moved around hard can damage the metal parts or paint or even hurt you. Also, the T-spanner requires much lesser effort to operate with)

Be careful while opening the nut, as it has a metal washer along. Do not lose this.

Once the nut has been opened, pull the cover carefully as it is fixed into these cavities shown in the pic. The idling adjustment screw is also shown here.

Step 3: Follow the steps mentioned by HydBiker to set the idle RPM. Since the cover has been opened, you can use the small screw driver supplied in the bike's toolkit.

Step 4: Reassemble the DELTABOX cover in reverse order of dismantling.
