Default Runs great, won't idle when hot...

After getting the floats cleaned and everything put back together....thanks to many of you....I finally got her out and put some miles on. The bike starts without a problem. Other than the typical (for my bike) low end sputter, she runs great. However, once it warms up it doesn't want to idle. I almost found out the hard way while coasting up to a turn....the engine died and the rear tire locked up when I released the clutch. Anyway, trying to feather the throttle while at stoplights is getting tough. While I know this is probably simple, how do I adjust the idle up a hair or two or five? I looked through the manual but didn't see anything plainly written.

There is a thumbscrew located through the little hole on the left fairing (just under a little rubber flap below the fuel tank)
If you screw it clockwise, it will raise the idle.
