cold morning, hard starting...
needing some advice on how to get my bike to startup easier in the mornings or when its cold... ive notice lately as the weather has started to get cooler its even harder. ive actually used all the life in my new battery twice trying to start it... and had to recharge it a few times already due to it!!
usually i have to pull full choke, hit run switch, hold starter for a lil while (no throttle or it dies), when it kicks over keep holding choke to max or if i let it go it will stall, then very slowly build some throttle and hold it at about 4grand for 30 seconds or so.. does that sound normal or is there anything i can do to the carbies or anything to at least improve it? especially on the ice cold mornings/nights!
any help appreciated

When was the last time you had the bike tuned?
