    Hi there i have got a problem with my Apache. When i start it, i leave it a while so that the engine warms up and i can take the choke off. But for some reason i cant take the choke off now. Every time that i try to take it off the bike dies. Its really annoying and i was wondering if anyone could help me.
    Thanks for looking and i hope you can help.

    I'm no expert with that bike, so this is just a thought, but I vaguely remember an issue with some China bikes where the choke lever direction is the opposite of what you'd expect. In other words, you think you are turning off the choke you are actually turning it on. Is the bike new to you?

    cheers

    Hi there mate thanks for reply. The bike is new to me but when its a freezing cold morning there is no way that it would start with the choke off. So i don't think that is the problem. But thanks for helping anyway.
