Norton Commando's use Air Valve's Not F******g Chokes.

As for removal of Air Valves its not a good idea removing a really nice lever on your handle bars ....

and when somebody asks what does this do ... why its a AIR VALVE ,my good man/woman :wink:
 
Choke valve, maybe?


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choke_valve

"Choke valves are important for normally-aspirated gasoline engines because small droplets of gasoline do not evaporate well within a cold engine. By restricting the flow of air into the throat of the carburetor, the choke valve reduces the pressure inside the throat, which causes a proportionally greater amount of fuel to be pushed from the main jet into the combustion chamber during cold-running operation. Once the engine is warm (from combustion), opening the choke valve restores the carburetor to normal operation, supplying fuel and air in the correct stoichiometric ratio for clean, efficient combustion."

It's a CHOKE, dammit. Air valves are the plates that cover the secondaries on a 4 barrel. Everybody knows that...
