In short, the choke restricts airflow "chokes", which causes the carb to draw 
mOre fuel which effectively primes the bike. Newer small engines like lawn 
mowers, weed whackers and chain saws have a primer plunger, which allows you to 
directly inject fuel into the carb without using a choke. Watch this guy 
blather on for several minutes explaining the choke on his ninja.

Hey all,
I was wondering about starting the bike from a cold start. Does it ever start 
from cold without choke? Or do all older carb motorcycles require the choke?

New rider here. Just bought this bike and the tires I suspect are originals. I 
wanted to change them to dual sport tires. Can this be done using the same 
comstars? the rear is 130/90-16 and front is 100/90-19.
thanks
