Cold(er) Weather Starting

For anyone that has read the carb threads, you may remember that I am running TORs with a K&N, 42 pilots and Thruxton needles. I had mentioned in the summer that my bike always started immediately with no enrichment needed, and I was curious to see if this would continue once the weather got colder. Well, it has been down in the low 40's (Farenheit), which is about as cold as I ride, and the instant starting with no enriching continues to be my experience. I'm still getting mid 40's for mpg, although my last tank was a bit lower due to some heavy-handed freeway riding. My bike runs absolutely flawlessly, with never a hiccup, and has done so from 40 degrees to the high 90s. Honestly, I am a bit amazed that it starts so well in such varied conditions, and hopefully I haven't jinxed myself by providing this update I love this bike I love this bike I love this bike!

gesh brag about it why don't ya good to hear you're having instant cold starting. thankfully my Legend starts right up with half-enrich in the 30s so far (chilly mornings). i take it off that after 30 seconds and it runs smoothly right away. like you i love, love, love, love my triple!
