I never ride with the choke on. If it takes 2 mins or 10 to warm up it doesn't matter.

I usually pull the Choke out all the way, let it warm up while I put My Gear on then push it Half Way in, I take off easy for a mile or two then push it all the way in, never had a problem.

I've been adjusting the carb on mine, so I don't know if it's the warm temps, but right now she starts right up without any choke. 10 -15 seconds and I take off easy for the next mile and a half or so. Good to go after that.

We'll see how she does come winter.

Well, as of late I've been giving her a good 5 minutes to warm up, 10 on my first ride simply because I'm breaking it in. As for my choke... oh yeah, I don't have one FI

Pull out choke, start bike without throttle, take off and push choke in after 2 miles. Never had any issues. (Will not start without choke, when
cold, summer or winter).
