No, at that speed the carbs are beyond the idle circuits. Don't let the engine get above 1,500-1,800 rpm for this adjustment.

Shut off bike, start in the morning using choke and only choke and pretend the idle adjustment is dead to me and never look at it again.
That's a bit extreme. Although I don't adjust my idle speed very often, they did put that knob there to make it easy to do, and I occasionally make a small change, depending on air temperature and other influences.

That's not really a choke, you know. It's an enricher that adds air and gasoline, which is why the engine speeds up at the same time the mixture gets richer.
