Hmmmmm......if you know it is low, why not just tweek it up a bit?? That's what that big knob is there for !! :roll:

Really, if the idle is set right, it will ride and shift better.

LONG warm ups are not necessary. Wastes gas and accomplishes nothing useful. Even when it is VERY cold, I can't see needing more that 5 minutes and probably less. (How cold is it when you ride in the winter?)
