So some of us may have found out the hard way about letting bikes, especially Kats; sit and warm up at an idle for too long, as this can foul out your plugs b/4 u know it if done repeatedly. But anywho,...do you atleast let it warm up for a minute or so w/ the choke on...or just start it up and warm her as you ride?

let it warm up for a couple of minutes but only a few seconds on the choke.TDA Racing/Motorsports

Originally posted by crackshotI idle for a while, but if I am in a hurry, I run it a gear lower than I normally would (keeping the RPMs up) to warm it faster
Now as far as just how it runs...throttle response...I basically just let it run long enough to makes sure it is well oiled. I rarely need to choke my 1100. It has to be sitting for several days or be quite cool before I need to choke. And even then it is 1/2 choke. My engine is strange...starts easy without choking...floods easily if I choke too much. I see my buddies start their bikes and they rev quite high for quite a while. Mine won't do that....it will bog down and stall.
If it is a problem with something, it is a problem I can live with. It means quick goes and does not effect performance.I don't have a short temper. I just have a quick reaction to bullshit.

I let her warm up until the choke runs the idle up and I gradually reduce choke until it is at a regular idle, then away I go. I dont like to ride with her cutting out and sputtering, like when it is not warmed up.2000 Kat 600

I let it run on the choke until it can idle at 1K by itself, by this time the engine is warm enough to have good oil flow and throttle response.
