Hi mate

I am curious how much choke did you give your bike was it full ?? and did it idle after starting. Also how long did you leave it on choke please.

Hi there thanks for the tip, do you or anyone else know if there is a manual for the CBR on-line, so that I can download it or even the owners handbook please, as I have no information on my CBR at all

 

Most of the way, the whole assembly started moving, so I will have to tighten it up a bit, what I like was before I had to manually maintain the idle, this way I don’t.
and it started on all 4, not 2.

I will be playing a bit with it to find which method work best.

 

With these cool spring mornings (45F) here in Boston, I start mine with full or 2/3 choke every time. My starting routine (that even worked when it was 35F outside) is:
1) Full choke, turn the engine over for 3-5 seconds (shouldn't need this long unless it's really cold).
2) 1 Quick twist of the throttle
3) Try turning it over again

Usually, if it didn't kick on the first few seconds, it kicks right over after the slight venting of the carbs from the twist of the throttle. On the 40F days it kicks right over with the choke. Mine definitely needs the choke to start. I'm betting once it's about 60F out it probably won't be much if any choke required.

 

I have a workshop manual I can send on email if you want it.

 

That would be fantasic if you could thank you my email is pugs3@iprimus.com.au

Thank you very much

Will try you advise with choke. Weather here in Sunny Queensland australia the temp is around 12 C in the mornign and today was about 30 C when leaving work I didnt use the choke at all today but will try tommorow mornign shoudl be interesting.

 

I give full choke, turn it over about 1 sec, she starts right up. I let it idle on full choke for about 30 secs, and I'm off. Beautiful thing, really.

 

kilgoretrout, my bike is the same.. full choke to start it, pretty much any weather, then I let it run for a little bit, drive a block and then no choke is fine
