5PW choke query
markyb - 13/6/08 at 12:05 AM

having done a search on the forum I see that people have plumbed in the TB choke in different ways but not sure which method applies to the 5PW - which would be the correct way ?

1. small pipe from water pump t'eed into pipe running into top of header tank thus having the choke on permanently I assume

or

2. small pipe from water pump connected to choke and outlet of choke t'eed into pipe
running into top of header tank

or is there another way ?

I have just done mine the second way. Not through any science but because a bloke who knew better than me told me what to do!

I didnt bother T-ing mine off at all, its just plumbed from the water pump outlet into the choke, then the outlet of the choke goes into the inlet on the block just underneath the throttle bodies.

Its not exactly how its plumbed on the bike but Ive never had any cold start or bleeding issues when filling etc, so it seems to work fine.
