Choke until idle ? was created by Fox
Hello,

I can just have correct idle when the bike is hot... after 15 min of run perhaps.
But when i start i need the choke open for 5 min (not fully) otherwise the engine stop...

Is that normal ?

Yes, first start up of the day will usually need the choke on for some time.
I try to have it off by the time I'm ready to ride.
Sometimes I need a little throttle to keep her going, when preparing to ride away.
Once riding 5 minutes, she will be warmed up.
