400i - won't run with choke on for long.

400i - won't run with choke on for long.
My owner's manual for the 400i says to start the motor and leave the choke on full for about 2 minutes, before switching it to normal position. My motor will only run for about 30 seconds before it will die if I don't switch the choke off. Is this normal?

JohnO, I'm having the same problem now with my 500i. I can't figure out why it's decided it don't like to idle but my guess is it needs a valve adjustment. I'm gonna pull the plug to check it and I'll try to let you know what happens. You can always Email me from here.

Mountainclimber, we shouldn't have to simply adjust the idle speed. As the enigne warms up while riding, this will cause the RPM's to go much higher than required when idling. We would be constantly making idle speed adjustments that are not necessary if conditions are right. Your suggestion isn't a bad idea for short term performance.
