My Fazer doesn't ever start from cold without the choke. If I do try it the bike is not at all happy to the point where I remember to turn the choke on. It literally takes 30s-60s before I can turn the choke off and rev without the engine dying.

"When the engine is cold some of the fuel it gets from the carburettor condenses on the walls of the combustion chamber, so the mixture becomes too lean. The choke compensates for that. It will also open the throttle slightly, compensating for the fact that the engine needs more force to turn, because the oil is cold."
Can you tell me what RPM's the engine runs at idle ?
Does it run roughly ?
When it first starts, if you give it throttle does the engine die ?
[size=1em]My personal opinion is that you should always have the choke on (when the engine is cold) before pressing the starter and that it should run for a minute or so before turning the choke off, testing the throttle, and finally pulling off (allowing the heated grips to warm up too ;-)[/size]

Opinions are like A**holes, Everyone has one. Some people seem to have more than one though which is a bit odd.
