It's like a 15x5 sheet of rubber. Maybe as thick as 15 pages of paper. Tucks in between your head and your airbox\coils.

If you have to move a rubber flap to see your coils, then you have it.

 

It was a joke, man.

 

I know haha. I was just explaining about the wind too only to point it out.

 

To be more specific, if you have to move a rubber flap to see coils from above the bike with the tank and airbox off. The flap covers nothing from the side door. I just mention this because the way you worded this johnny made me think "well I can still see the coils from the side..."

edit: I said this wrong, I meant if you have to move a rubber flap to see the spark wires... not coils. Rubber goes between coils and wires... blahblahblah

 

Haha I'm so glad you posted this. It means I installed the flap wrong when I put my carbs back in. I totally have it between the coils and the wires.

 

I also have this problem too with my F2. It stutters at constant speed and doesn't ride smoothly. It happens after i release the throttle and let it cruise. it gets really bad between 1-5rpm. But the difference with my problem is that when it stutters i hear a popping sound (as if you pulled a suction cup off the ground). My guess it came from my carburetor diaphragm (the 4 rubber pieces on the top of the carb that has the needle. (http://img232.imageshack.us/i/diaphragm1in5.jpg/)

Do you think if there was some air leak in there, it would also cause stuttering problems? I think some carb cleaner mightve gotten into these diaphragms during cleaning and it might've deteriorated the rubber...

 

I think it's mostly solved now.

First I think the bougie witch we checked, was too loose in the engine.
Second I clean the carbs with some chemical stuff, without disambling

Maybe you do have it on right. I messed up the wording... All this talking is confusing... picture time!

 

That sound is backfiring and is usually caused by air leaks in the air intake or exhaust, or running too lean of a mixture. if your diaphragm wasn't working properly it could be a problem, all you need to do is visually check them over for any holes or tears, and make sure when installed that your sliders retract nicely.

 

is that piece really necessary? i took mine out and threw it away. is it going to be detrimental to the engine?
