Hi all, I'm so happy to have found this forum. I just bought the street 500 in December of 2014 and I couldn't be happier even though it's been sitting for almost two months. Dang colorado winter. But the Temps have risen a bit so I went to start it up. I'm thinking I've got one of those engines that doesn't like the cold much. It sputtered and ran high for 5 minutes or so. I do have the battery on a tender. The 2nd time was the same. Would someone be able to give me some feedback on EFI cold starts. How it should sound? How long to let it idle? Throttle or no throttle? I wanted the bike to drive to work and back. Since I work late hours I'd like to know it'll start for me when I'm trying to leave my workday behind me. Thanks
