i got a choke question

[kingbrian]

who has to use their choke to start their bike when cold. my bike only gets ridden on the weekend and sitts all week long so whenever i go to start it i have to use the choke. it start almost every time with the choke on the first kick. but without it wont start (being cold after more than five kicks). after its warm its fine itll start all day. but ive had bikes that ive never used the choke on any time in the desert except on the coldest days in the winter here in the desert. can this be fixed with jetting or is this a bike characteristic. i dont wanna use the choke no more :(

whats the difference? It takes a sec to turn it on and off. But if you really want to not use it, richen up the pilot jet a good amount, give the bike a few slow kicks to prime it before your full kick and it should fire up.

That is what the choke is for. Why would you not want to use it?
