Hi Guys, I have this stupid thing that i do every morning at work...The basement floor is very smooth/slippery and when i ride in i lock the rear brake and do a small rear slide into my parking...(*You can see where this is going*)...Well today, My slide was more spectacular and i dropped the bike. Luckily there is a huge sack of recylcle paper that i was able to land on. So i had a soft landing with no damage to the bike.

I quickly hit the kill switch and picked her up. Now she wouldnt start. I left the bike for 20mins and now she starts fine but if i pull the choke to the max she switches off. Any ideas.

Flooded with petrol?

Choke will kill a warm engine anyway, ride it home sensibly but keep the revs up and see how it is when you get back, should have cleared any excess fuel.

Thanks Neo, I took her for a spin during my lunch break and she running, idling, and choking fine. Thanks. I was just a bit worried. I think my ego is the only thing that got damaged in that fall.

This is actually an older pic. I recently added the michelin man decal on the shocks and the japanese flag on the front hugger and TOKICO logo on the calipers.

Will post some pics of the decals soon
