How to find and remove the air/fuel mixture plugs on the Brute Force 650

Can't find the air-fuel mixture screw on your Brute Force 650?  This article and the attached video will explain how to locate and access the caps covering the air/fuel mixture screw step by step.  The air fuel mixture screw is located toward the bottom of the carburetors, but can't be adjusted unless you remove the caps or plugs covering them.  Suppose Kawasaki really didn't want folks adjusting on these BF 650 carburetors.  We were able to remove the caps with a dremel and boring bit.  It would be difficult to accomplish this with a drill bit due to lack of space and the awkward angle.  Bore into the plug only a 1/8 inch or less, hold a light on the plug and you should be able to see when you break through the cap.  Be very careful not to go to far and cut into the air fuel mixture screw.  After drilling the hole on the first cap we attempted to pull the cap by screwing a drywall screw into it, unfortunately the hole bored wasn't exact enough for the screw to bite into the plug.  We then removed more plug material and eventually were able to remove it with a pick.  Although the carb located on the front cylinder is harder to access we were able to successfully remove the cap with the screw method.  Here is a link to the: How to remove cap from BF 650 carb video.
