RE: bike warm up time
Above 60 degrees I will let it warm up for about 30-50 seconds before taking off. It still won't have the best idle for another minute or two, but that's how I do it. Below 50, I let it idle with the choke until it is able to idle on it's own, then for another 3 or 4 minutes. If you keep having problems with cold idle, just turn the carb idle adjustment **** slightly. I adjust mine accordingly for every season/temperature change.
