I have to say that I have never ever heard of condensation in the oil (lower end?) due to short commutes (what happens to scooters? All they do is short commutes). Certainly condensation in the header and muffler pipes but nowhere else. Can anyone else out there confirm what Convict's mechanic is referring to? As far as the whole choke/idle business can't you just start your bike a couple of minutes before you leave? Let it sit there and warm up while you have some toast or something. I pull my bike out onto the driveway, start it with the choke on and let it idle. Then I check the air pressure in the tires, then put my gear on. Usually before I'm done with my routine the engine has started to surge. I shut the choke off. It then idles nicely until I'm ready for her.
Convict, you sound like a great guy who really cares about his Triumph, but man, I think you worry too much. Take it easy.
