On my 82 650 - if it's less than 60 degrees out I have to use the choke to get it started and then throttle to keep it running. Takes about a minute to warm up. The bike is in the pacific northwest.
On my 96 750 the thing starts every time (after I replaced the battery) without choke but just a little throttle - maybe 2000 RPMs. Now I live in Hawaii so the 750 has never seen 50 degrees.
