Cold start: the choke versus the ECU
On a carbureted motorcycle, the choke enriches the mixture for a cold start. The rider operates it.
On a fuel-injected bike, the ECU handles it: it automatically controls mixture enrichment during a cold start.
The injector may open for only a few milliseconds, and the ECU varies that time to meter fuel precisely.
