Also just noticed you have literally the same bike I do, same colour and everything
OK, I get it. Well, even with the TB3 on my Ninja she was very cold blooded on my January and February rides. She ran fine after a mile or so with no choke. Each ride was about 30 miles and on the ride in February I did stop at a hardware store and I think I needed the choke when I got back on the bike to return home. I'm sure you're going to be OK when the temperature gets up to 60-70 degrees. You've got a small engine here, made of aluminum with very low mass compared to an automobile engine - it's going to cool down quickly in cold weather. Usually, in warmer weather, you only need the choke on initial start-up and then you're fine for the rest of the day.
