Never needed the choke ever? Is this normal? ! - Tubz1983 - 23-05-17
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 ?

Yes, Fazers run rich.

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

Perhaps your choke is stuck on! ?

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.

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)
