Rode the Fazer to the shop for an Ivan jet kit, and checking the choke (has never worked since I bought this bike in July, was not a problem until now).
Temperature dropped down to the 50's since the middle of last week, at least in the morning (I know, it's terrible) and the lack of choke started showing. The bike would not start or would not keep running after starting. Since it has been going on for about a week, and I only have a typical 15 minutes ride to work, the battery was not recharging sufficiently after the lengthy attempts to start the engine, so this morning I had to put the charger to start the bike.
I had planned to have the jet kit installed anyway and I was indeed waiting for the temperature to drop enough to make sure the shop could see and fix the choke problem. Hopefully all this will be done in one day, I miss my bike already...
