Is it normal for the idle speed, at cold start with choke, to jump to around 4500 rpm? Seems kind of high to me. Idle speed is normal after warm up.

too high?
Hi,
In this kind of weather, 80F, if fully choked mine will shoot up, not quite that high, but much higher than say when the temp is 50F. Just back off the choke till it goes to a normal speed.80 MNS , Georgefix pods , crossed fuel lines, no octy, inline filters, Daytona handlebar, custom seat, Hardley 19 muffs -
Yep. Perfectly normal. Pull the choke, and it should start, then gradually climb to the point that you think it's going to explode. Then, you bump the choke in one notch, and it should drop the RPMs again, and gradually climb again. Bump the choke in all the way, and it should drop to normal (1100) rpm.1980 XS850SG - Sold

one night i pulled the choke fully out, started her up, ran back into the house and i thought i was gonna blow all the rods and pistons out of the motor
it scared the heck out of me
now, i start her full choke, wait just a few seconds, then let her warm up the rest of the way one notch out
once im ready to pull out, i click the choke all the way in and shes good to go from there1980 XS1100SG - almost doneComment
