My 06 1200-C with SE air kit and slip-ons stock main jet, 46 pilot jet, [ I cald the dealer that installd the air kit for the guy I got my bike from and they said they must have installd the 46 because they charged him for it]
so this is about the same set up I had on my 2000 1200-C and after that motor got hot and it was warm out,I could let it set for over a hour and it would start right up. On my 06 it only takes about 10 minutes and I need to pull the choke out or it's hard to start andwill not idle. I have to leave it 1/2 way out for about a minute befor I can even take off. Rest of the time it runs great. When the motor is cold it's not much more cold blooded then my old bike. So why do I need so much choke with a warm motor... Thanks...

 

You're not supposed to use that much choke.


pull it all the way out, start up the bike, then twist the throttle slightly and push in the choke all the way, keep the RPMs a little higher than idle by using the throttle and the throttle lock underneath the grip.

your warm up times will be faster and you will use less gas and have a less chance of fouling your plugs by using this method.

 

Thanks for the advice but my point was I should not need to pull the choke at all when the motor is still that warm.

Update..
I just went out and fond it only has a 44 pilot not a 46 like the dealer said it was. Don't most of you run 45-47 pilot jets with a stage 1 air kit? I had a 45 in my last bike and as I said, I never had this problem. Do you guys think a 45 or 46 would take care of the cold blooded problem?... Thanks.

 

Well, is there Any one out there, that could advise&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;me if&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;a larger&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;pilot jet&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;might help my&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;cold blooded problem, when the motor is already warmed up&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;when I start it&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; ? I'm going to put a 46 in it, and I hope this is not a waste of time... thank you for any advice I can get...

I don't know why all the slashes are in my post?

 

I had a similar problem when I first got my bike. I did the stage 1 with a 47 jet, and had the carb. cleaned and new seals installed, and the problem&nbsp\\;is gone. Wouldn't hurt to put some new plugs in after the rejet since you have had to use the choke so much.
