How much choke do you typically have to use to get the bike started when cold? I find I just use a tiny bit to get the engine fired up, then it chugs along warming up slowly for a minute or two. I can go off choke after 30 seconds without the engine dying. Keep in mind, I'm down south and it's rarely under 70 degrees when I start mine. I hope I need more choke this Winter, it seems like an almost useless feature at this point.
I think I mentioned this before, but you need a first-gen
You keep mentioning things you would like to change about the 250r and they're things the 250f had to begin with.
