Default Set my idle to high! help.

So i was having some trouble getting my bike to start. After playing with the choke for a bit i gave the idle **** a few turns still wouldn't start so i really started to play with it. I finally got it to turn on but i nearly blew my engine the idled so high.

Problem is im afraid ill turn it the wrong way and really blow it. Which way is it to turn it down?

CCW to lower the idle speed.
