As Jerry says, dropping the whole oil cooler down with hoses still attached definitely helps but (only my opinion) think twice about removing hose connections on carb bowls as it's really difficult to re-attach banjos because the hoses are rarely "in repose" so lots of struggling to get fixing perpendicular to tapping (x 4) not to mention juggling with copper/fibre washers (x 8) on re-attaching. I always used to paint head of balancing screw with a dab of white paint to help locate and also so as not to confuse with slow-running screw in similar location as I got older and more forgetful. If it's a keeper, you might consider obtaining and replacing slow-running screw with a remote (cable operated) equivalent* which makes that part of the job luxury ever after. Although sometimes trickier, I never found oil cooler hoses stopped me getting at balance screw or slow-running screw on several vehicles.


* as fitted to Yamaha FZR etc.
