CB500/4 choke lever turns on its own
« on: March 09, 2019, 04:47:56 PM »
Hi any ideas why the choke would turn on its own from off (down) to on (up) while riding?
Cylinder 4 is running colder than the others which I need to adjust but could this be anything to do with it? Any similar experiences much appreciated.
Regards J

Vibration?

Mine does it when the lever catches on my riding jeans

Had this on my 400/4 when the choke lever caught on the top of my boot. Took me ages to suss.
