it is another reason why EFI is good though. My dad was lording it up over me a couple of weeks back; i was faffing about getting my SV started (took some cranking and stuff) and he wheeled out his GSXR (not been used for a month up to that point). hit the button, engine fired instantly but mine is louder |

Ouch £182 for my service, mind you I did need rear pads as they were on metal...

Frigginell, there's a reason to do stuff yourself there!

Re: So some bikes still have chokes then?
Yeah but as you know - I'm rubbish at doing it.
Although last week I tried to get a Haynes Manual for my bike so I could start doing stuff and they don't make one and according to them have no intention of doing so... At least if I had a manual I could start doing stuff with a small amount of know-how. I did oil changes on my SV but it was all there in the open, not so simple looking on the CBR. |

Re: So some bikes still have chokes then?
Not really. Haynes tends to say "unscrew and remove" a lot. Which tends to interpret to "find it's siezed solid, batter it with a hammer, find out there's a circlip/pin/more fasteners they didn't mention, heat it up... eventually break it. Then find out you could have gone in the other way"
Was it a minor service? You tend to find sportsbikes easy to work on because of the racing roots. Early K GSXRs you can strip down to check the valves in like 20 minutes.
