Skorpion Sport Choke question

Postby Doc Strange » Fri Apr 10, 2009 7:45 am

The choke lever on my SS reads Choke at the top, with a Hi below that and a line down to Lo at the bottom of the lever travel.

After starting the bike it seems happier if I have the leaver at the top of its travel (above Hi and by Choke) than if I have it at Lo. It over revs at Lo, but ticks over at the top of its travel.

Is that how it should be?

Thanks for any info.

A confused...

Hi,
The Hi and Lo that you mention refers to the high and Low beam headlight dipper switch. The choke is off when the lever is at the top and on when pulled down.
This is how it is on my Skorpion Traveller, the user manual illustrates the same handlebar control layout for all Skorpion models.

Cheers David - that all makes sense.

Don't have an owners manual I'm afraid.
