Advice please on rebuilding a 2005 Monster

Sounds like the only way to adjust the tickover is via the TPS (throttle position sensor).
This lives on the left hand side of the the throttle bodies, it's a round plastic object with two screws. I'm not sure if it can be manually adjusted with the screws or if it has to be electronically adjusted, hence the mathesis tester.
I have heard that physically adjusting it is incredibly hard and that wouldn't be something I would attempt on my own bike!

So am I going to miss the boat (or bike) with the cover puller?
