cold start up
I just started up my bike for the first time after sitting all winter and it started fine but it sure runs fast for a bit when first started and it kind of makes cringe to hear it running that fast. Is this normal for the 1600's? In the summer it isn't as bad, I suppose the temp. is higher so it doesn't call for it to speed up as much.

Yes, its normal...the ECM is doing its job the way it was designed. Should only idle faster for a few minutes. I never have to use the fast-idle (aka "choke") knob either..

Hope all is good with you. That green stuff is trees and grass I know its different from what you guys have over there.......don't think those pines in the background would last too long out in the desert!! Caddman, I don't know where you think I am, but it's nowhere near MN....we were in the upper 60's and mid 70's till last week.

Hey lonewolf, We missed the snow you got but its no heat wave here yet. I did start the bike up but it sits in a heated garage!! They keep saying next weekend it will be in the 50's so we will see.
