What does the air cutoff valve do on a bike?
it cuts off air to the pilot circuit when on hard hard decel or any decel for that matter. on other bikes and models its sometimes called and ENRICHENING valve. its purpose is to detract from popping on decel which is a sever lean condition caused by hard decels…most any 4stroke will do it to some extent.
Is there a way to eliminate the air cutoff valve?
To eliminate the air cutoff valve you would not only increase the pilot jet but also the needle would have to be recalibrated. Meeting strict emission control laws requires engine manufacturers to run at 14.7 AFR which gives the best emissions. At that AFR the engine is running lean.
How to change the brakes on an ATV?
1 Take a clean, flat small screwdriver and remove the little rubber plug at the bottom of the reservoir. 2 Jiggle the brake lever to remove any air bubbles still left at the top of the brake line. 3 Reinstall the rubber plug and add more brake fluid if needed.

Where did the Honda aircut valve come from?
It’s possible I was the first to publicly address it (all the initial mentions on vintage Honda forums are mine), but Honda actually originated the procedure in a racing service bulletin for their 900F based road racing parts kits.
What happens when an aircut valve goes bad?
(A GL1100 or 70s-80s DOHC inline four can cost more than $100 in just aircut valve diaphragms.) A failed aircut diaphragm will pass fuel across the vacuum barrier and directly from the idle jet into the carburetor bore, resulting in gross richness at idle and low speeds.
