This must be something to do with the weak setting of the carb on the American bikes. The only time mine needs choke is when it's been sitting for 2 or 3 weeks (like when I've been on holiday) & even then, I can turn the choke off as soon as the bike starts. It's always been like this for the 3 years I've had it (from new) & it runs perfectly, with a decent mpg, so there's nothing wrong with the bike. I know that the temperature never drops below 10ºC/50ºF, but I assume that you still have to use the choke on American bikes above these temperatures. I wonder if any other European members can come in here & tell us if they need the choke or not.
