Gsxr750oilboiler Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Afternoon,I recently purchased a Gsxr 750m I'm just wondering if this is right when I put the bike on full choke it seems to rev to around 3000rpm, I'm just wondering is this correct and not to high. Recently I have only been using half choke as I'm not too sure about full choke. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment

Thanks. sounds about right, I tend to use full choke for starting and then immediately push it back to about half way. you can control the rev's with the choke but no one want to here their cold engine revving its tits off !!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment

I've had a lot of 750 and 11's that would start warming up on choke till the revs suddenly shoot up to around 3-3.5 thousand revs and hang there till choke was shut off. 1 Quote Link to comment
Upshotknothole Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Normal, in the middle of winter I will let everyone listen to my bike sit at 3K RPM for a few minutes while I get my gear on, the rest of the time it's full choke to start and then half choke until it can idle without it. 1 Quote Link to comment

Also how long after steady riding are they up to full operating temperature. I'm just a bit Ocd with engines in general. Do they take a lot of warming up from cold. Quote Link to comment

Do they take a lot of warming up from cold. hard to say really, not all engines are exactly the same and also the air temp, i give it 3 or 4 miles before i open it up, should be enough. 1 Quote Link to comment

Geography can influence your style of engine warm up. I tend to let the bike idle for around 5 minutes. First 2 minutes, revs as low as possible, then the rest bringing up the revs gradually till things feel loose. Back to geography, out my gate and 0.6 mile straight as a dye road up to a T junction with all guns blazing! Quote Link to comment
