It is still cold here in Alberta in the mornings, 5C (38-40F). So I pull on full choke and fire it up, go back in the house to get my helmet and gloves, go back out to the bike to put it all on. This morning my wife decided to start a conversation…I left the bike running for what I thought was about 2 mins in the driveway, but the reality is probably 5 mins…when I went back out it was revving at 4000-4500rpm. I usually only let it rev around 3000rpm. I hope it didn’t damage anything. I turned off the choke and it idled fine. I usually have to leave it on half while I gear up, but not today…it was good and warm. I ride a GS500 which are notorious for being “cold blooded”, but I don’t seem to have that problem with it.
I might get a new bike next year just to get FI…?? We’ll see…
