Some muppet is adjusting the brass screws on my bike when I'm not at it. I'm suspecting here at work.It's happened a couple of times recently and I'm wondering if there is a cover that can be put over them to stop 'idle hands' from ruining my sync?
Anti tamper brass screw cover?

Mark them and put a blob of silicon over them......
or give the pranksters the birch, oops wrong thread
Silicone. Good idea. I've got a suspicion there is a vidictivness about recent activity. Silicone will not stop the messer with a screwdriver. I'll put some on anyway. Thanks.
vindictive?
a big dab of non drying paint (oil mixed with gloss) on those screws.
Now that's vindictive.

Point taken! I think a rebalance and record the exact number of screw turns is in order. Might put some silicone on though all the same.
I'm just about to head out to the bike to see if I could fashion something myself.
I think vindictive is the wrong phrase btw. I think it's just a muppet who probably thinks it's funny.

Good idea but for some reason the designers gave us OEM plastic covers that don't actually cover the brass air screws

I think a gentle punch in the throat is a pretty sound idea 
, or one of those stickers that says "If you value your life as much as I value my bike......"

It's more of a 'once a month' variety. I'll look at those covers. ... I used to have them on my r850r lol lol. Long time ago. Thanks. Just the job. I had completely forgotten about those things. I remember now. They both fell off. Crap design iirc.

Wire it up to the mains
But just remember to disconnect it before touching it yourself

A short sharp kick in the nuts followed by the aforementioned punch in the throat would be my way of stopping it.
That would sort it,and a few broken fingers would help as well

Maybe the lambda sensors acting up. Joking aside, those covers are worth buying. They look great on iirc. I Wonder if they could be modded to distract eijets and remain secure?
stick a charged ( sorry drop an loose ) a chared capacitor in the area of the brass screws then watch the fun
