so i got my bike a few days ago(89 cbr 600f) i rode it a few minutes since its been snowy here in rochester new york. i started taking the plastics off since im going to repair and repaint them all, i bought a battery tender and fuel stabilizer and now ive been surfin ebay for a tail to upgrade to and the f4i pegs. i do have a question though..when cold starting i should turn the choke all the way up and crank it and hold for a few seconds and repeat or no? im new to the whole choke thing

 

when its cold full choke let it warm up till you and open the choke and it will stay running each bike is different so trial and error to you get it right

 

thanks man i was messin with it earlier today but i killed the battery and i didnt have any way of charging it so i went to autozone and bought charger so tomorrow im gonna go back at it

 

might want to take the plugs out and dry or replace them

 

how do you foul plugs? by not dryin them like you said and tryin to start it anyways??

 

open the choke and hold the throttle full open to let as much air as possable in and it they arnt fouled to bad it should start 2strokes were bad about foulding plugs but 4 strokes arent bad depend on how long you tryed to start it.if you dint try long 30 sec to 1 min you should be all right hope this helps

 

ok i plan on getting new plugs anyways so ill work on it for a bit tomorrow morning and ill take some pics to put up
