I agree Javier. I can let my 750 warm up for 10 - 15 mins and then
still have to choke it for 2 - 3 miles. By then I'm frozen and need
to warm up for 2 - 3 days, Graham

I don't think 6 min is enough time, at least to see it as an isue.
When it is really cold (say below 30's), my 750 can take easily 15 min
to warm up. Most of the past mornings i had to drive with a bit of
choke to prevent stalling. How cold it was when you said stalled after
6 min?

You said you idle 1000 rpm. I idle mine at about 1200 rpm cold and
it climes to about 1300 to 1400 after warm up.

If the seafoam doesn't work, I'd clean the carbs. My 650 and 750
both take about thee miles to warm up. The longer I let it warm
up before riding, the better - sometimes longer than 6 minutes.

Thanks Dennis and Graham. It stayed on after 2 tries this morning
with minimal and no throttle - full choke. I let her warm up a
couple minutes and she ran fine.
After about 6 mins I had my second red light and with no choke or
throttle she stalled. The idle just kept going lower and lower....
As usual the warm restart was just one push of the button and I
made sure to give a little gas at idle for the rest of my commute.
Perhaps this Seafoam everyone talks about will help.

They have an accelerator pump. Every time you do, you spray gas
in. Not a great idea. Choke is better. Unless I knew they were
done recently, I'd clean the carbs just for piece of mind. Maybe
run some Seafoam through it instead.

Thanks for your help. Do you have any ideas why I'd need to
repeatedly and quickly roll throttle on and off?

Other than a warm restart, you don't have a problem. Change in
light output ? yes, they do.
I will not ride a bike out into the street that's engine is not
hot to the touch. I don't need a stall when an SUV with some
dimwit talking on a cell phone is bearing down on me. Each bike is
different, you'll have to find out what yours likes to start every
time. Above 60 degrees, mine start without choke or throttle, hot
or cold. Try some choke, no choke, light throttle, whatever. Pose
this question to AHM and they would answer that starting is an
individual situation and give suggestions (as I did) and disregard
any transitional conditions. They will address only problems that
occur at full operating temperature. In other words, warm-up takes
how long ? Deal with it, it's a temporary situation. EFI eliminates
