my bike just did something bad

[scratch]

Full choke for no longer than 30 seconds according to the owner's manual.  Warm-up takes at least a minute, though.  Use the throttle to keep rpms up to 1500 til the bike is warmed-up enough to ride away (I wait no longer than a minute to ride away, but continue to use the throttle to keep rpms up at stoplights).

I do no longer than 30 of full followed by 10 at half then let it sit and idle for a minute or two from a cold start.  Easy to do if you start the process b4 you put your gear on. In colder weather,  the times vary.  I usually let it run at full choke until it reaches 3.5k on the tach.  then take it down to half and then once it can run half smoothly i take it off choke. Then let it idle until i get my gear on. Easy peezy lemon squeezy
