polecat Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 When the Choke cable breaks is the Choke in the off position without the cable ?Another thing...I always use Choke to start the Bike but after the cable Broke I tried to Start it up (after 4 days not running) and it Started First Chug of the Starter so Soes the Bike even need Choke (other than Winter)I bought a Replacement Cable but Now I am wondering how much I should really Use it when its FIxed ?Sometimes I have forgot to turn the Choke completly off and realised a couple miles down the road ! ...Is this Bad for engine ?Any Clarity regarding these questions Gratefully received Quote
Guest Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 a broken cable will revert the choke to "off".some days its warm enough not to need it, others arent.get a new cable and fit it following the old line (you'll need to remove the seat and tank to do this)..leave it and you'll want the bike one cold morning and not have a easy choke, which means playing about under the tank pushing the choke mechanism by hand,..leaving the choke on after its needed wont do any harm, you'll just use more fuel, if its on too long or too rich the engine will tell you.. hope thats what your after...wemoto will be able to supply you a choke cable for your XJ600n Quote
