Well that depends on what mixture screw you have... On the older models before they started mucking with legal stuff the carbs had a normal philips head type screw... Mine being a 97 has that, so all I need is an angled screwdriver, easily available in most hardware stores... That and some patience... (lots of it actually)

If your bike is a bit never the screws have a "D" shaped head, so then you either need to remove the airbox and such to remove the carbs and slot them prferably using a dremel or such so you can use a normal slot or philips head bit afterwards...

Or if you don't like tearings stuff apart and have deep pockets, buy this http://www.motionpro.com/motorcycle/partno/08-0229/ which has the "D" shaped bits...

Tweety, will pilot screws from a '97 fit an '05? I would think so, but I thought that you might know for sure - thanks.

AFAIK they are identical apart from the head of them so yes, they should fit nicely...

And with you in Denmark I'd say then I'm 99% sure you have the philips head screws, so any 90 degree bit screwdriver should work fine with a bit of patience...
