Got home tonight, wheeled my bike to the back of my car (battery in the boot), got the jump leads out and nearly had everything connected up when I thought I'd give it one last try on its own to start without the jump leads connected. No choke, started straight away (not sure where the power came from as the battery was left clicking after I drained it this morning). Not sure whether trying to start it for quite a while on full choke this morning flooded it or there was a problem with starting it on the side stand (like darrrsi). Switched it off, ran and got my helmet, started up fine again and went on a fairly long ride. No problems at all.
I'll try starting tomorrow on the side stand but with no choke and see what happens.
Is there a quick way to 'un-flood' a bike once it's flooded?
