My GS doesn't run smoothly while warming up, or at least while the choke is on. A "popping" sound is the best I can describe it.
BduuuuuuuuuBduuuuuuuuuuuuBduuuuuuuuuuu is the best way I know how to describe the sound. Like it stumbles for just a half-second every few seconds.
A couple of times I needed to start moving quickly and rode with the choke still half-on for the first minute. I felt the power cutting out for a split second every few seconds. At this point, I went ahead and turned off the choke and it smoothed out.
Is this normal, or is it a symptom of a problem? Thanks in advance!
its running alittle rich with the choke on, it may have been tuned at altitude, dont open the choke as much so you let a little more air get in,
try that and let us know, im sure the other guys will let you know if they think of some thing else
i have had the same thing happen to me with my 2006 GS before. i thought it was normal cuz the choke was on so it was giving it a little gas while i was riding.
