what about the morning start?

 

sounds like a common idling problem.

yea mornin start also hard .. must maintain trottle lor

[darky]

normally i will rev till 2k rpm, when it goes up by itself i let go my throttle.

 

seems to me i can only start it this way(for i dont use choke), unless i set my idling super high, if not i can forget about starting my bike...

 

not sure if this is right, but thats my way of doing it. any seniors mind sharing their experiences?

Advisable not to use the choke.... unless no choice.. if nt, will be dependent on it...

after you press the ignition button, crack open the throttle a little and hold it there. try to control the throttle opening to target 1500+ rpm. hold it for about 1 minute then just release as per normal. should be warm enough. i do this for all my carb bikes, never ever used the choke before.

when you say dependent on it... what is so negative about using choke to start bike?

 

its just another hole to let air in wot... whats the big deal?
