I have a 912is Sport that does not seem to have an idle adjustment Screw .

Install manual 73–00–00 ,Page 17 ,February 01 2020 clearly shows both the black factory screw and a second idle adjustment screw and clearly says "The screw with the black cap is the setting for the lowest idle speed and adjusted by the factory. This setting must not be changed."

Top pic below is mine the bottom is what is pictured in the Install manual.

My 912is is a bit older, was this an update (I have not been able to find any info)?  Would adjusting the black screw on mine to slightly increase the idle be a mistake?

Any thought much appreciated.

    No. I have had some 912iS engine's that the idle was so low it vibrated like crazy down around 1500 rpm or less. That screw is hard to turn cold  and it could be broken off if not heated. I remove the plastic cap, heat the screw and then it turns easily. 

    I have a small pencil tip butane torch that has a small, but very direct-able flame to target a specific spot. A heat gun heats an entire area and sometimes I don't want that heat on other parts. So the small pencil tip torch only heats the target area I want and not the surrounding area.
