+1 on everything except I believe the fuel pump is tied to the Start-Stop switch on the handlebar rather than the ignition switch.

There isn't a choke screw adjustment. Are you talking about the black **** on the side? That is the idle speed adjustment. Normally the pilot screws are adjusted on the bike when warm and then the idle is set to spec with that ****.

If you look in the manual you will see the procedure.
