Just wanted to know what you guys do on road trials regarding riding with the choke on for the road work. Seem to get various answers regarding this, the majority saying that it should only be needed for SSDT etc ?.

Just steady road work, no thottle to the stop stuff.

The reason I ask is that after my last road outing, the bike ended up in intensive care, and only after large injections of cash did a full recovery occur !!. As you can imagine I don`t want a repeat performance on my (new to me) Pro.

I decided to try it at the Chris Carter cos there was a fair amount of road work for that. It did help a bit i guess but when i nocked it off it was a bit choked up.

Personally dont think you need to use it unless your doing a massive amount and you are really flyin.

You've just got to go steady with Pros. The one thing that does make them overheat is holding them on the same amount of throttle, much better to vary it a bit.

Varying throttle is always a good idea on any 2 stroke motor...they really don't like long steady throttle settings at all.
