This is an original stock carburator to DR650SE.
My question, mostly out of curiosity, is what the small switch is for that gets enabled if I give full throttle? Positioned at the throttle wire on the carburator.

It's a Throttle Position Switch (TPS) that some Euro + Australian spec bikes only have. It's an emissions device and serves no useful purpose. I've disconnected mine at the loom. Dave. :ride:
