I never use the choke, I just turn the throttle just a milli-bit, it usually start on two cylinders and after a couple of seconds, all 4 are running, it will stall if I don’t keep the idle up using throttle control for the first 1/2 minute.
I haven’t tried using the choke, maybe I should.
If I use too much throttle, it won't start

You need to upload them to a image host somewhere like IMAGE SHACK
You will need right click your mouse & copy the direct link
then click the image button at the top of the reply box above to produce this [image][/image]
Right click again & paste what you have copied in between the 2 tags
[image]-http://img12601.imageshack.us/img126/5757/imageshackdirecthighlightshot6.jpg-[/image] (DON'T PUT THE - MARKS IN, they are so i can get the example to show on this post!)
and if all is well your image should appear!
watch your image size though cos it can come out real big on screen you may need to resize it before uploading to image shack!

Hi mate
I am curious how much choke did you give your bike was it full ?? and did it idle after starting. Also how long did you leave it on choke please.

Hi there thanks for the tip, do you or anyone else know if there is a manual for the CBR on-line, so that I can download it or even the owners handbook please, as I have no information on my CBR at all

Most of the way, the whole assembly started moving, so I will have to tighten it up a bit, what I like was before I had to manually maintain the idle, this way I don’t.
and it started on all 4, not 2.
I will be playing a bit with it to find which method work best.

With these cool spring mornings (45F) here in Boston, I start mine with full or 2/3 choke every time. My starting routine (that even worked when it was 35F outside) is:
1) Full choke, turn the engine over for 3-5 seconds (shouldn't need this long unless it's really cold).
2) 1 Quick twist of the throttle
3) Try turning it over again
Usually, if it didn't kick on the first few seconds, it kicks right over after the slight venting of the carbs from the twist of the throttle. On the 40F days it kicks right over with the choke. Mine definitely needs the choke to start. I'm betting once it's about 60F out it probably won't be much if any choke required.
