    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Choke RPM

What RPM should a 450 go up to with the choke fully activated? I've noticed that it would rev at about 1800 RPM previously, but now it's going up to nearly 3000 RPM. Without the choke, it's still the same, about 1000 RPM. Thanks in advance for your help.
 
Well, my '82 11E, which needs full choke on cold starts, immediately starts to increase to 3,000 or more if the choke is not quickly backed off. Cycle World said that is normal.

I would adjust the choke after start up so she revs about 2k for a minute, then slowly back off until it holds a nice idle speed (1,200 rpm) without any choke.

You can ride it away while still on the choke.
 
Thanks for your reply. It seems that it's normal then. I might have not been pulling the choke out all the way (mine is situated under the tank).
