Well i know that some older bikers used to pull the throttle a couple of
times before stopping the engine for the oposite reason, so that the carbs
wouldnt be filled up with fuel, and the cylinders would get read of excess
fuel and maby oil.I dont think it is a good idea to pull the choke before
stopping since this couses more smoke to sit in the exhaust valves (tunring
engine off = bad burning of the fuel + choke = more smoke ) I THINK!...
In the manual it says that when the engine is cold u should always pull
the choke when starting your @, and with no throttle.This works by
increasing the pressure that pulls the fuel into the carbs and making them
fill up faster.I THINK!
I have notticed that the bike starts a lot easier this way, and also that if
the bike has been driven earlyer pulling the choke makes starting a lot
harder. In both cases, i think that u should not pull the throttle at all
when starting the bike.
This concairns the 95 and after moddel (maby 94 too? ) since they have a
different carburator (like cbr 900 ) than the previous models.
Just read the other mail about the shirts and i would like the corel
logo by email to make a t sirt of my own (maby putting my name in the back
would be nice).
