paul, i was hanging around the bike with the air filter removed (we've all been there), i noticed a black slide over the trumpet to the carb... it didnt move when i gave it some throttle... what is it?

if the engine wasn't running then that is the carb slide which has the diaphragm above it and the needle poking out the bottom, and when you twist the throttle you operate the butterfly which is closer to the inlet (not like slide carbs on a 2-stroke when you lift the slide with the throttle).
If the engine was running, then f8ck knows!!!:P
