[QUOTE="KDXNick, post: 682106, member: 35873"] I've read in a Dirt Rider mag from a few years back that you should only start the bike with the choke on, and turn it off ASAP (NEVER put a load on the engine with the choke on). If it's warm out I usually blip the throttle no more than 3 or 4 times before turning the choke off, if it's colder (~40F or lower) I usually have to keep it on a little longer, blipping the throttle just enough to keep it running and checking every few cracks to see if it will run without the choke. After the engine can run without the choke, I take off my left glove and hold my hand on the pipe (while blipping the throttle like you would before a moto waiting for the 30sec board to go sideways) until it feels too hot for comfort. At the races I've seen people warm up by revving their engines to the moon with the choke on, as smoke billows from the silencer. Not good. After having experienced a few cold seizures, when I raced 125 motos, I have no problems waiting for a proper warm up. Think, just a few more minuets of waiting can possibly spare you the cost equivalent of a fork revalve and a set of tires. Best of Luck -Nick [/QUOTE]
