It's on the right (throttle side) of the bike, lay down, look up behind the triangular air cover, kinda hard to see, sorry I don't have a pic,,it is a little "D" shaped post and has no slot in the top.

That's incorrect. The 1995 VLX has dual carbs and you need to drill out the caps to get to the pilot screws. There are 2 of them, one for each carb.

Thank you both for the relplies! It is a 1995 and I do believe it does have dual carbs. ENDY, any ideas of whee they're located?

oops, didn't see or catch the 95 model part, Endy I bow to you,,,sorry for the misinformation.

though I believe it to be correct for the single carb vlx's, no cap to drill either.
