Bike doesnt Auto Choke
Hey guys, shortly after i bought my bike i realized it doesnt auto choke like it should, it runs pretty good but the FPR may be going. Would the FPR cause the auto choke not to work? The bike starts up and idles at like 1500 and then drops to 1300 at around 100 degrees
Bike also hesitates below like 2000, i figured this was normal but my most recent tank of gas got like 90 miles.. not sure if it was because my oil was slightly over filled or what but if it still sucks after this next tank i know for sure at least my FPR is gone.
EDIT: bike is an 02 with just over 16k on it

AFAIK the auto choke ( wax unit ) should go way above 1500 RPMS to warm up, it should be 2500-3000 until the temp gets to 100 then slowly drop to spec, mine starts cold between 1300-1500.

Is their a way to tell if the FPR is bad for sure before i just go replacing $60 parts lol?

yeah, attach a gauge to the service check bolt, and if the psi is below 50 when u start it, it could be the fpr, clogged fuel filter, bad pump, or bad hose. if higher, the pump, fpr, or return line is messed up. also disconnect the vacuum line to the fpr, and plug it. this is according to the manual

I hope it fixes the auto choke issue, i mostly want to see it just because i always thought auto choke was cool lol.
Thanks for the responses guys, in my searching i could not find anyone else with a problem like this.

I never heard of a auto choke. Most ecu's run off what is called the IAT(Intake Air Temperature). It reads the temp and then adjust the map according to the settings. After awhile it will slowly bring the idle down since it knows its in a more safe zone. Why they didn't put lights flashing saying "do not ride" until reaching a certain operation temperature is beyond me. It's like cars as well. In the winter you can't just jump in and drive. In fact most people use over drive and shouldn't. That's by far the hardest thing on it..over drive..everyone forgets about it.
