Question:
whats it doing in the engine? and is it ok if sometimes i ride off and forget to push it back in?
Answers:
If ninjas still existed, would they ride sportbikes, sport touring, or standard bikes?
Well, what I see is right, some more specific than others.However, technically speaking, do you have a choke or an enrichener? While they perform the same function, how they work is entirely different.

You use your choke (or enrichener) only when your bike won't start without it.
As your engine warms up, idle speed increases.
You push in the choke a little at a time to keep idle speed down.
When the choke is all the way in, the engine is warm and you are ready to ride.
That's how it should be done, I don't always follow the rules....
How can I tell if my 1974 Honda CB550 is a 550K, 550F, or just plain 550?
It restricts the air flow into the system, unless its EFI then it injects more fuel. It may carbon up your plugs and you will loose some performanceI would try and remember to turn it off because the carbon can do damage after time..
basicly it cuts off some of air to the engine and adds more gas so it will get hotter quicker. if u ride off you definetly will notice because your power will be reduced greatly and it might jerk around and shut off once its warm

The choke cuts off part of the air going into your engine. This makes the engine run richer by choking off the air. This will help your engine run until it gets up to temperature and the gas will atomize better. Usually, when the engine gets hot and the choke is still on, it won't run as good and may tend to stall the engine at low speeds.My Honda Shadow has sat for 8 months, what should I do before trying to start it up?
The "choke" on an engine reduces the air intake, so you get a heavier fuel concentration, which is important in starting to help "prime" the dry engine, however leaving it in can foul or damage the sparkplugs and wastes fuel not to mention is putting out more smog/unburnt fuel, which can also backfire and ruin your valves and exhaust system. So do as you like but I don't reccommend it.Which is d most costliest bike?
The choke on a engine with a carburetor is a moveable metal plate in the throat of the carburetor that when closed restricts the amount of air entering thus making the gas to air mixture richer.It is used only when the engine is cold and always is to be opened after only about 1-2 minutes after cranking. Leaving the choke closed after warm-up results in the engine running rough, black smoke out of the exhaust and excessive fuel consumption.
If the engine runs smoothly with the choke closed you need to have a mechanic check it out.

a choke in an engine controls the amout of air entering the carburator.when you close it ,it cuts the amount of air entering the carburator allowing the air/fuel mixture to change to rich.(more fuel - less air). your bike should not need to be choked more than 30 to 60 seconds.the choke is just to help you get it started.The Choke is used to help start the engine whenit is cold, it doesn't hurt to ride with it on it just does accelerate as well

There is no choke on fuel injected bikes.How to change gear on a motor bike?
The choke opens up the butterfly valve a bit and adds more fuel to the idle mixture. Basically, it runs the engine a little rich until it's warmed up properly.
Which Bike is most fuel efficient amongst these?
Once the bike is warm, make sure the choke is closed before riding.
Where can i get a blue print to make my own bike like a ninja?
basically(and technically) the choke restricts airflow thru the carb thus increasing the fuel percentage in the air/fuel mixture(creating a richer mix) this mix makes it easier for your bike to start. As for hurting your bike,it will cause premature fowling of plugs,thus decreasing performance particularly in two stroke bikes.The choke (or enrichner, or primer) enriches the fuel mixture to help start/idle engine when it is cold.
As engine warms up, turn it off. Otherwise, you'll foul spark plugs (from too rich mixture), and it can wash the oil off your cylinder walls, accelerating wear.
Usually the 'choke' isn't.
Its an enrichener device used when starting a cold engine.
( unless you have a Suzuki RM125 where its used as part of the pilot system)
If you need to use it all the time its ready for a carburettor overhaul and cleaning
