HELP! Bike won't start (FIXED NOW THANKS)

[wickedmonkey]

After experimentation with starting my bike in the recent cold and wet weather, my Fazer likes full choke to start and no throttle whatsoever. About 3-5 seconds after it starts, the revs die down so much (around 1k or just under) that it sounds in danger of stalling -- but it doesn't. It was at this point I was previously giving it a bit of throttle but this floods the engine making it stall and difficult to start again for about 30 minutes. So I resist the throttle and after a few more seconds the revs pick up to 2-3k and I can start reducing the choke.


Added this in case any other noobie like me has the same problems starting a cold, soggy Fazer.
