Default Choke returns automatically, problem fixed.

If you have similar problem, here is a workaround. My friend told me that his choke doesn't stay open, after 2 minutes warm up, it shuts close automatically. He found the choke housing nut is a bit loose, tightened up the nut and problem fixed.

Yep, but be careful and don't over tighten it, it's plastic.

mine just started doing that a week ago. I pull it out, start the bike and it closes by itself. sweet. Id like to replace that choke **** with black dice or one die should i say. Drill a hole in it or something and mount it.

Be careful on how long you have the "choke" on for.It is actualy a fuel enrichener.You should only use tit until,the engine will run on its own.You then use the throttle lock ****,on the handle bar to warm up the engine.The enrichener(choke) adds extra fuel to the cylinders.This could cause premature wear(to the cylinders) by washing of any oil.
