    Starting my GS450

    I'm not complaining, but is it normal for my 450 to start within one second (with "choke" on) even when it has been sitting in the garage for more than 2 weeks and is obviously stone cold. I barely have to press the starter button and it fires up.

    haha! My gsx400 scared the crapoutta me when I fired it up last week! Yes, I think it's because the choke/enricher tube sits deep in the carb bowl so even if some gas has evaporated, she sucks up a fast hit!

    Congratulations for a clean carb and gas are in order because that tiny tube blocks easily.
