My bike (also an 05) has what sounds like the same problem.
I did a carb rebuild and it seemed to help a little, but not much, and it quickly reverted to it's old ways.
Getting it to start cold is always a challenge. It needs full choke/full throttle to get going and flooding is often the result. Until the engine's nice and hot it won't idle unless the choke is full, and often times the first decent start or two it won't even idle with a full choke and just dies.
I'm considering buying a new oem carb, but I'd rather not spend the $350+ if I don't have to. Is there anything besides the carb that could be causing these issues?
