Mines always been like that on cold days. Always need the choke for couple
of minutes to idle properly even in the summer. Carbs have cleaned and
balanced twice in 12k miles.

Hi,

The bike has always taken a minute or so to warm up on choke before I can
use the throttle, without it dying.
This morning was probably 3 degrees above freezing (first cold morning this
year) and the bike really struggled to get warm. I had to restart it three
or four times before it would stay alive long enough to get warm.

Any thoughts? I'm worried that if it gets any colder I wont get it to start
at all.

Thanks
Kevin
