Well bike running fine, however just came home from lunch just now and it was running a bit lumpy fits and starts if that makes sense, left it for about 1 - 2 mins to warm up but do i need to leave it running a bit more that that before taking off or is it something else?

T,

If your on about the choke... Then I leave mine full on until the revs raise up to around 3-4k then I drop it off to 1/2 choke so the revs drop to 2k (not accurate but higher than normal tickover.) I then ride to the tenfoot gate and turn the choke off. All this is done in less than 1 1/2 minutes.

When I initially got the bike I didnt realise how much you needed to pull the choke lever to ensure you had full choke on. Since I realised this it starts fine everytime.

Cheers Rich.
