As far as the "choke" goes, I would start it on full, but immediately back it down to where it idles about 2500. Let it sit there for a minute or 2 while you get your gear on, then turn the choke off completely before heading out. It should idle, but not well or at the hot RPM. After normal running for a short period the idle should slowly come up to the proper hot speed as the engine reaches operating temp.

I never ride off with the choke on. Give it a little throttle when you are stopped if it feels like it needs it, but it should warm up enough after a short amount of time riding normally to stay running without any help.

Ok perfect. This is what I did for the ride home. Already had gear on when I got to the bike. Applied "choke" to get the rpms up, shut choke off completely before taking off. Again still ran high but by the time I even got the short trip straight home done, it was again right at 15-1600 rpm and steady!!

Now to do the 05 tomorrow!!

THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE!!!
