Title: long warm up time
Post by nervekiler on 03/03/08 at 08:34:42

hi!
my bike takes a long while to warm up.. maybe around ten minutes..
i have to warm the bike up down the road at safeways parking lot because the exhuast is way too loud for my neighbors (apartment living).

so recently i let it warm until throttle response (with no load/in neutral) is good and i can feel heat radiating off the engine.

i usually have to ride about 5 minutes through stop and go traffic with the choke halfway on.
if i turn the choke off.. the engine bogs down quit a bit in the midrange of rpms.
now after a few miles of riding i can turn the choke off and the bike performs smooth and responsive as i would expect it to.

i have a gutted muffler and K&N air filter. the carb has had the idle mixture screw tuned and white spacer mod performed but still has stock jetting.

now is this normal for these bikes to run like this until they warm up completely?
or is this condition maybe just a result of the bikes carb tune?
i really wanna get larger jetting... but wont be able to for another month or so.

It would have better response sooner if the right jet was in there.

Like Verslagen says, Sound like you're way to lean. I see in the small picture that you pipe is discolored. I just turned 5300 miles and my pipe has no discoloration at all. ;)
