Answer 1

yes its a problem,it starves the engine of air thru the intake while allowing fuel into the cylinder,resulting in missfiring or flooding.

Answer 2

Yes, it is bad to ride with the choke open.

The engine will idle high and cause increased wear.  Also, the engine can flood like it did when you were are the stop light.

The choke should only be used start the engine and warm it up.

Answer 3

Yes it is the reason, riding with your choke on is not good for your bike

It should only be used if you cannont start your bike on the first few kicks, after that it should run by itelf

If you keep doing this the engine will starve from lack of oxygen in your the intake and falsly allowing fuel into the cylinder, which will cause a misfire.

If you ride in choke when you try to accelerate or shift the bike will bog down and stall.

My Dad has been riding for 15 years and I have been riding for 5 along with my brothers.

Its in your best intrest, for the sake of your bikes "health" not to do this any longer.

Good Luck!

Answer 4

yeah you shouldnt ride a bike with the choke on i dont think thats the reason it stalled though choke makes your bike idle high

Answer 5

no it won't hurt it but wen riding ur not really suppose to have it on. and yea thats the reason it turned off on you.

Answer 6

The biggest problem will be fouling the spark plugs.

It's not very good for the exhaust pipes either.

Answer 7

no, but you only ride in choke for 5 minutes and then put the choke in for the rest of the ride
