How can a rider enrich the fuel mixture to start a cold engine?

Use the engine cutoff switch
Adjust the mirrors
Pump the front brake lever
Utilize the choke

The correct answer is: Utilize the choke

Riders can enrich the fuel mixture to start a cold engine by utilizing the choke. The choke restricts the amount of air that enters the engine, allowing for a richer fuel mixture and easier starting in colder temperatures. Option A, using the engine cutoff switch, will only shut off the engine and will not affect the fuel mixture. Adjusting the mirrors, option B, and pumping the front brake lever, option C, have no impact on the fuel mixture. They are not relevant to starting a cold engine. Therefore, the best option for enriching the fuel mixture to start a cold engine is to utilize the choke.
