mixture screw turns on bandit 1200

[69chris]

hey guys,

mates just bought a mk2 1200 with less than 3000 miles on the clock - its been sat since it was a couple of years old and has never been mot'd lol !!

just cleaning out the un-surprisingly grotty carbs and the mixture screws are currently varying between 1.5  to 4 turns out 

does anyone know what the standard setting should be ??

cheers

Id go for 1.5 turns and see how bike reacts from 1/4 to 1/2 throttle I've always used 1.5 as a starting point on standard jetting.
