Are you telling me to "fudge" off while laughing out loud, or do you feel the need to use
and "lol" while telling other guys to "fudge" off because you are a 12 year old asian girl?
And any way, why the anger? I wasn't really talking to you, was I. Now, "fudge" Off.

I still don't think the original poster was talking about the choke at all. His English is shaky & I think he was talking about riding the clutch in the friction zone at low speed.
4RPM? Don't think so.
4MPH.....makes a little more sense.

Choke on a bike does the same thing as choke on a car. It enriches the mixture. Depending on the bike and car, it can even be the same mechanism design.
Now if the original poster meant what Direwolf is saying that at slow speeds he tends to ride the friction zone at 4k rpm then that makes sense. Adjusting your velocity at slow speeds using only the throttle is hard to do on many bikes, especially a performance inline 4. I do the same thing on my bikes in heavy traffic. 4k isn't even that high considering that these things redline around 15k. If that's what our original poster meant then I think we all owe him an apology for our choke advice and misunderstanding.

Really? Good luck with that.

The guy might be a perfectly safe and responsible rider in all other respects.

First off I have over 30 years of experience riding motorcycles.
Second, not knowing how to operate your choke, or calling your clutch your choke, indicates a general lack of knowledge about motorcycles.
Third as a mechanic I know how my choke works.
In conclusion having the choke on won't be the reason you crashed.
kthxbye

Try this on you bike and then speak. Put the choke on and then without touching the throttle slowly start letting go of the clutch in first. See what happens. Do the same on a car. Observe the difference.

You have a car with a manual choke? Wow, that must be a pretty old car.......

Are we talking about on a cold or hot engine?

I have no idea what point you're trying to get across. I haven't driven a car with a manual choke in about 30 yrs., so your test would be hard to accomplish.
I do ride with the choke on these days (for the first few miles, anyway), because the mornings are cold and my bike is notoriously cold blooded. Been doing it for decades and having the choke on hasn't caused a crash yet. Even when I occasionally forget to unchoke it, the worst result is that I'll roll up to a stop light and notice that the idle is higher when I pull in the clutch.

No. Your demonstration is pointless. If the bike and the car are both cold they would creep forward, if both were hot they would most likely stall out.
You know the more you try to convince us that you know what your talking about, the more we know that you don't have a clue.
