I pulled my choke out when I started my bike and I let it sour and isle for maybe 10min. All of a sudden I smelled something funny and my bike was smoking. I turned her off immediately and when I was ready to leave5min later she started right up no problem. Did I just leave her idling with the choke on for too long and doss I possibly mess not bike up? She is A Tamara VStar 650

2003 Hyosung GV250. Why is it hard to start?

Running low on fuel concentrates any water or sediment in the tank to the point where it just has to go down the fuel line and it clogs filters and carburettors. A tiny drop of water in a carb can play havoc...

I suggest you clean the fuel system and carb thoroughly...

The smoke was most likely from a build up of carbon that was burning off. A motor is running rich (to much fuel) when using the chock and should only be used for no more than the first minute after start up.

I bought my Shine 1 month before. From the time I bought, I am facing a problem with the bike. Every day I have to use the choke for 5 minutes for the bike to start and run. If I remove the choking just...

1. Sounds like maybe fuel line from gas tank is clogging. Clean gas tank. To check, remove some gas from tank and run it through a paint screen.
2. Replace gas filter regardless.
3. Could also just be water in gas tank. Drain some gas from lowest point of tank (usually the reserve), into glass jar. Water should settle to bottom.

Have checked to see if the throttle body cables are actually snapping back? may just be that the cables need a little lubing .

98 CBR F3 doesn't stay running w/o choke on

There seems to be fuel starvation to the carbs.
Check the fuel filter and the petcock, not bad too to clean the carb/s.

Choke won't open or close

I think your bike has a CV carb which doesn't have a choke.It's called an enrichener. Pulling out the "choke" knob merely dumps more gas into the carb. If the bike starts normally with the knob pulled out, you do not have a problem. On a cold/cool day, pull the knob out and start the bike. If it idles faster than normal the system is working. Pushing the knob in should drop the idle speed, maybe stalling the bike if it is not fully warmend up.
