Re: Warm Blooded Bikes?

My California GZ starts with me opening the choke to more or less the halfway point every morning. It cranks for maybe 2-3 seconds at the most. I listen to how it's idling for a sec and adjust as needed then put on my jacket, helmet, and gloves. In the summer I close the choke when I get on the bike. This time of year I leave it open until the 1st traffic light which is less than a half mile from my house. So far in seven months, it's stalled once using that routine. It does not idle fast at stops.
