Never needed the choke ever? Is this normal? !
« on: 23 May 2017, 10:11:12 am »
Litteraly never used the choke to start the fazer, ever, it just bogs it down and stalls it if i try and ever  utilize it during startup. Cold mornings sometimes it will start with a touch of the button, or if not just a whiff of throttle imput. Hot days is different As i have to hold the starter down and pump the throttle slightly but it always starts and runs etc...
just wondering why this would be ?

This also means that when I fitted my new DNA-air filter it doesn't risk of running too lean?

maybe not normal, but not uncommon on an FZS

New air filters and cans don not need carbs rejetting as they run rich to start with.
Another ex-Fazer rider that is a foccer again

I've never used mine either! I get a regular 52mpg on it too, so if it is running rich it's doing so very frugally 8)
