Is it broke?

[mikemike104]

1989 Kawasaki GPX 250

The entire time I have owned it (since March this year) the bike has never needed even a hint of choke (even on the coldest morning)

I thumb the starter and within 1-2 seconds its running, no hesitation no spluttering, nothing negitive no matther how bad the frost is (is gararged tho)

I ask because I had wondered to myself that it should want some but doesnt seem to need it?

I prob answer my own question but if it aint broke..

I looked around on the net a whole lot more and can find no reference to what my bike is doing being bad, so I call it a win :done:

i keep myself amused

I just bought my bike, honda cx400, it has a broken choke cable, the handle bar end is missing in the choke lever, the previous owner (of 3 years) did not even know it was broken.
I only noticed as it has a slow idle when cold. put my finger on the choke (at the carb) and the idle speed increases. Yes I am getting a new choke cable
