Are the idle speed knobs red now? Maybe red in other markets?

I just looked up the fiche for the 2012's and all I see are the normal choke and idle speed knobs.

I think Point37 called it.

The passage is not machined on U.S. models, but on yours it would lean the mixture for hot starts.

Ok thanks a lot. I assume I can just ignore it then I never had a problem with any of my bikes to start them when they are warm

Could it be an altitude adjustment to lean the mixture when you go up . Honda had a set up like that on their atc90/110 and ct90/110 in the 70s or 80s (in what country are you located).

I am located in sweden but the knob goes back directly when it is pulled
