In exceptionally cold conditions it could need the choke to idle for up to 5 miles, depending on your driving conditions, in town or out of town, it will obviously take longer to heat up in start stop traffic or if like me your first 3 miles is mostly down hill.
Some of the later Foxeye models had a blockages caused by Swarf stuck in the heater circuit which was documented by Yamaha. It was usually the left hand carburettor and just required removal of the pipe and some poking with a piece of stiff wire to dislodge it and blow it through from the right hand side.
Did you check the pilot jets before you refitted the carburettors?
