Default Idle/air mixture???

One of my friend's suggested to play with the idle/air mixture to help my
rough idle. My idle usually gets really weak if I am parked at a light for too long. Is this a good idea? if so, where is it on my bike?

And does anyone know the standard stock settings of the idle/air mixture?

I would greatly appreciate any insight on this issue. THANKS!!!!!

There's idle mix and there's an adle speed screw - two seperate things. I'd try the stop screw (where the cable connects) first.
