I will be removing the small plugs over the air mixture screw on my Vulcan 750, and would like to know the best way to get those little buggers off? I've heard that some riders use a drill, but I would rather
use something else if possible?

I guess you could try a small drift or punch and a hammer, but I think the best method is to drill a small hole and start a screw into it. Now grab the screw with your pliers and give it a tug.

Yeah, that's the best technique I've found. Just be sure not to drill too deep, you only need to get through the cap. The screws below are usually pretty soft, if you bump them with the drill, you might damage them.
