I will bite the bullet so to speak and strip and clean the area where the choke cable and plunger goes in.
Simmo, I know exactly what you talking about and untill now did not actually occur to me that someone could interpret it wrongly.
To explain, normally you "pull" the choke lever out so that it is "ON". On the tenere you actually push it in to activate it, now the reason this was obvious to me is I could immediatly feel the resistance as you do with choke cables when you activate it so no new nicknames for me then.
This morning I came to a new conclusion and that is you don't have to kick with every ounce of energy to get the bike started. It seems like a gently couple of kicks get it running but yeah getting to know this bikes little quirks is interesting to say the least.
Thanks for the replies and will comment if I get a better or any solution.
