97 kawasaki ZX11D that will not stay running without the choke on

It won't run unless the choke out, but after a few attempts, I can get it to run with the choke in. 2 Official Website of CalendarOfficial Website of Calendar The front pipe for the exhaust gets super hot within minutes and the back pipe stays a lot cooler

It's winter time...so cold weather is present and you'll have to use the choke. Are you using the choke?

let it warm up with choke closed manually after it starts to stall with choke closed open it and dont let it stall u can learn to play with the choke a little to get it to run right GOOD LUCK!

spray with wd40 let sit then try or manually do it on the carb

have you checked your idler screw on the side of the carb? if not it may be a blocked main jet, also check your air filter. try taking it out completely and running it. if it runs it may need replacing.

It runs fast because the choke and or high idle are set. This is normal, after it warms up, give it a little gas and let off, it should idle down.

my 97 kawasaki turns over wont start from sitting for months

You should be able to adjust the choke to where it will stay in without holding it by turning the rubber piece behind the choke clockwise towards you until the choke stays out on its own. You can adjust this so the choke automatically adjust as the bike warms.
Hope this helps..

Install new sparkplugs. Activate choke. Do not touch throttle. Push starter button. Do not touch throttle. If bike stalls repeat until it stays running, then you may give it a little throttle. If I give my TL any throttle on start up it floods. It usually takes 2 or 3 tries where the bike starts then stalls before it stays running. DO NOT TOUCH THROTTLE UNTIL IT IDLES. THEN GENTLEY.
