Also, rather than just leave bike on full choke to warm up for 5 minutes, you might try, once it starts and is on full choke, blipping the throttle a bit repeatedly and slowly decreasing choke as you see engine temperature coming up so that choke is off by time you get to full operating temperature. Alternatively once temperature is maybe half way to full operating temp, can ride away SLOWLY with partial choke still on and dial back choke setting as temperature comes up. Basically as temperature comes up, choke setting goes down. Hope that helps.
Thank you. I have been giving the bike throttle when it is sitting in the garage warming up. Nothing out of the ordinary until it goes back to idling. I also did try decreasing the choke the last time I started it up, and it died as soon as I turned the choke off. So I am wondering if it is a carb issue.
Is it possible for the idle setting to change if I have no adjusted it?
