I never use the choke, I just turn the throttle just a milli-bit, it usually start on two cylinders and after a couple of seconds, all 4 are running, it will stall if I don’t keep the idle up using throttle control for the first 1/2 minute.
I haven’t tried using the choke, maybe I should.

If I use too much throttle, it won't start

 

Hi there I have tried just using the Choke one mornign it took for ever and then coming home from work I didnt use the chike and a tiny bit of throttle and the same happened so today I purchased new plugs for her and it seemed to make a difference i startign and running and then I noticed a inline fuel filter so I thoguth okay lets change that as well the motor seems to run a bit better, but the proof will be in the pudding when I kick her in the guts tomorow morning to go to work

 

mine *needs* the choke to start, then it's fine

 

Well today went well no throttle no choke pressed the starter and after about 10 seconds she was purrring, must have been the plugs or might have been a faulty or partially blocked inline fuel filter either way she start this morning and the is afternoon with out a problem now I can get on with the serious part of riding her every day

 

Can anyone please tell me how I upload a couple of pictures of my CBR as I noticed other people have placed their bikes for other to view

 

I started my bike the first time without throttle, choke only. Bloody Excellent..

 

so that solved the starting problem alright?
