Hello all, here temp is 15 in the morning, 20 at midday. Choke gives too much revs, so I started to use start button for 15 to 20 sec after start up. Bike responds just as I like. But I am not shure any damage possible on electric or fuel system?

Regards

hi nino ...i believe that there is a starter motor lockout (stops the relay from operating ) above a certain revs of the motor but not sure at what revs this occurs . this should prevent any mechanical damage .

otherwise the start signal enriches the fuel mix and a few here have suggested that it wont hurt anything ...

personally i have not tried this ..

If the engine is running above 770 RPM then the starter relay wont opperate as the ICU removes the earth from it.

Thanks I will put that in my memory bank and probably forget again. My poor brain is cloged with 62 years of garbage and I just can't get rid of any of it to make room for more.
