Enrichener

Last couple of rides I have noticed that the Enrichener will start to pull in automatically as the bike gets warmer, eventually it will be all the way in and I never touched the Enrichener. During the warm months of the year I had to push the Enrichener in myself as the bike got warm. Is this normal operation for the Enrichener to automatically pull in during cold weather riding?

Thanks

RE: Enrichener

I doubt it has anything to do with the weather. More likely caused by vibration. There is a plastic nut on the mounting bracket. Sounds like it needs to be tightened. Not an uncommon occurance.

Thanks SportyPig,

Just checked the plastic and jam nuts both are tight. The bike is running great so I donâ€™t think it is a problem was just curious.

Thanks

RE: Enrichener

mine just started doing that right before i put my bike into retirement for the winter. Yeah it seems like it does it once it warms up. It sucks.

RE: Enrichener

when I first bought my bike mine did the same thing. I thought it was cool as the bike warmed up in went in, so I didn't think anything about it.I was up to the dealer and was just talking about stuff and I brought that subject up to him and he said the nut in the the back is probley not tight enough. so he tighted it up and it hasn't done it since.

RE: Enrichener

Yup. Mine does that too. I was going to tighten it up, but it does such a good job of slowly putting itself back in that I left it alone. Kinda like having an automatic choke.
