My bike has been away since November. I took it out once in december for 10 minutes it ran like crap. I think i just didn't let it warm up enough. 2 weeks ago fired it up and reved the motor a bunch of times after letting it warm up, zero hesitation, ran butter smooth. Yesterday was my first real ride, no problems starting.

That one ride in the winter and the time i reved it in my garage it was tough though. No battery tender, tank not topped off. But like several other guys it took MANY attempts to get it going. Choke on hitting the starter, the cylinders would fire a few times than die. Every time i hit the starter it would last longer and longer until finally it could hold its own. Both those two times it was 30 degrees or bellow. Today it was 60.
