[QUOTE="Mike 40M, post: 116116, member: 3599"] Sadly I have no experience on the air slide, as the GPs I've had came without them. Most racers omitted them. I don't like idling on a race bike either. Because on speedway we wanted as much engine brake as possible. Same for me when roadracing with drum brakes, which fade. What i have read and heard is that the air slide can be used to help finding the right main jet on full throttle runs. It's also said it to be used for adjusting mixture depending on altitude. Useful when you are going up on Sneafell. On some engines with GP carbs, you can get a decent idling on a warm engine. But I think the range of adjustment by the air slide is limited when idling.
