Can i ride off with automatic choke still on?

[woo]

On my 04 R1 (under seat exhaust one) the choke is automatic which i hate with a passion (also i hate the fact i cant tun the lights off) and the choke complety turns off around 65oc

Is this the same for your bikes and will it damage the bike engine if i ride off at 40oc when the automatic choke is still on?

I ask this cos i know of alot of the new cars have automatic choke and you can drive off even when this is still on

Why did you think you couldn't ride off?

Ever ridden off on a bike that has a manual choke you left on?

On balance auto choke is a very good thing in my experience.
When the majority of cars still had manual choke the petrolly smell from hundreds of vehicles running too rich every morning as people used the choke longer than needed was very noticeable - you hardly get that now.

Was it really necessary to post this question twice?
