Just bought a used F3 its running real good once it's warm, startup is a little boggy

I've noticed when I pull choke down it does nothing, usually i have to start it 5-6 times till it stays on very puttery , normally here you'd pull the choke down and it would rev up to warm up but in this case the choke doesnt seem to do anything

Is there something I can adjust ? Anyone seen something like this before ?

I increased my idle a bit so its sitting at about 1700 to make warmup a little easier

 

hi
i have a cbr600f3, 97, it may just be the choke cable needs tightening. on mine i thought the same thing but after around halfway the cable slack is taken up and resistance is felt.......this is the true choke kicking in.
looks like the tank n air filters have to come off to access it so maybe this is why its overlooked!?

Thanks Stuart I hope that's all it is .. doing more forum searches said it could be the carb

I'm gonna see what I can do

For now we are making do .. a few extra start ups and she starts running

I put some SeaFoam in the gas as well and WOW made a big diffrence

 

Im having the same problem. Im gonna tighten that up this weekend

 

I'm a noob when it comes to Tech sooo

I'll be taking off the Tank for the first time ever and looking for the adjustment
once I find it I'll at least post some pics if I'm successful

I'll also be changing the air filter so I'll take those pics too and post

So wish me luck !

 

I will be following you and doing the same thing this weekend. Adjusting not air filter

 

The little tab that pulls the choke was OUT when followed the cable

I just had to snap it back into place

I posted up a pick of what it looks like , you have to unbolt the tank, then open the air box, remove air filter, and remove another part of the airbox to get to it

Was not too bad, I had somone hold the Tank so I didnt take it all the way off

 

i think my choke works just not as well as I want so i will take a look at it tomorrow

 

bump?

 

Not sure what the bump was for . I think you said you were going to look at yours and see.
