I agree, for a stock bike that sounds pretty normal. Get a Stage 1 done and you'll use your choke a whole lot less. I couldn't believe the difference!

The ambient temp also plays a large factor. When it was 105 degrees I didn't hardly use the choke at all. When it was 15 degrees, it took forever for the bike to warm up.

"Back in the day" (early 1960's), when my only transportation for 2 years was a trusty old magneto-fired Triumph TR-6C, I used to ride when it was 15 degrees outside - no choice. I have to admit I have some really great memories of that time and a host of stories I could tell. However, today I have a choice, and the Sporty stays comfy connected to its Battery Tender while I stay comfy in my easy chair, remote in hand, and Jack Daniels on an IV drip.

. The only reason I rode when it was 15 was for Patriot Guard missions. But I did ride quite a bit, just for the hell of it, with temps in the 20's. Today is gonna be my first "brisk" ride of the season. I've got to ride about an hour east of Nashville (interstate speeds) to FINALLY get my clutch replaced. Thank God!!! High temps are going to be low 50's and partial rain showers. Certainly not extreme conditions, but since it was in the low 90's just a few days ago, this is probably gonna hurt.

When you first start the bike, push the choke in or pull out to the point the engine seems to be running the most efficiently and gently take off on your ride. As you move along you can gradually push the choke further in. Here in Az, (it never gets really cold) I will have my choke all the way in within a mile.
