Where is the choke on a 2007 GSXR 600? |
I store my bike in air conditioning a lot, so when I pull it out to ride sometimes it's got a rough idle for a few seconds. It's never not started but I was just wondering in case, where is the choke on it? I have never owned a bike without one yet so I'd be surprised to hear it doesn't have one, but I was just seeing if anyone knew. O.K, the GSXR 600 07 is Fuel Injected (F.I.) and with that comes with sensors that read the airbox temperature along with a lot of other parameters that your F.I. computer reads to give the best fueling. Lift your tank and remove your airbox and you will find a tonne of wires going everywhere. Anyway, your bike automatically adjusts using it's computer brain! So don't worry about looking for your choke, you will never find it. When you start it and it idles roughly it's normal for a few seconds as my ZX10R does as well but it should smooth out pretty quick after that. Never run your bike hard when it's cold but don't let it sit there to warm right up either. As soon as you see some temperature on your gauge, start to ride but don't load up the engine until it's up to temp. This will look after your engine as well as regular services at a good dealer. Troy. Source(s): Engineering background, experience. It would be in the CARBURETOR . Can't say for sure with that bike, but I also own a 2007 model bike...a Harley Street Glide, and it doesn't have a choke....and doesn't need one, since it has EFI, electronic fuel injection. Older bikes had chokes, since they had carberators, and when the engine was cold, the air/fuel mixture needed to be leaner. With the newer EFI models, a computer chip automatically determines the correct mixture ratio and adjusts automatically. Funny... Ive got a fuel injected Kawasaki Z1000, and it has a choke on it, used for cold starts. So, its news to me that an FI bike doesnt have a choke.... Mine is located on the left handlebar as a little slide that you move up or down. Up is off, down is on. NO CHOKE - read your owners manual. squid The Z1000 and a couple older European models have EFI and a choke lever. This is a primitive use of EFI system that incorporates a manual mechanical choke rather than using am ECM. Other than these rare bikes all bikes with chokes are carbureted. Your bike has Fuel Injection. you should have an idle adjustment. You can get a power commander to adjust your fuel air mix. Get one for $254.96 shipped - http://www.cyclemartusa.com/shop/product... Harley power commanders are 289 shipped -http://www.cyclemartusa.com/shop/product... |
