Here in the Northland- today it was about 40 when I started the bike up- about 1/4 choke for about 10 minutes, then all was pushed in and well...
Similar to a fishing boat motor, so not an issue for me.

Unhappy

These bikes come tooooo lean from the factory.First take off those potatoe in the muffler exhaust(catalatic converters)off the bike.Put on an air filter that lets it breath.Then rejet the engine.It will warm up quicker.Again they are cold blooded.Fatten up the mix abit and she will run better and warm up quicker.(NOTE:It is sad you have to do things of this nature to a new motorcycle.Maybe the new fuel injected bikes will run great from the factory!)
