Well the kickstand is involved, won't start if it's down, will it? I always start mine with the clutch pulled in and the kickstand up. And in first gear. Not sure what is considered "cold" with oil. It rarely gets below 45 where I live, and temperatures in the 70's to the 100's are common, but maybe I better start thinking about the neutral start.

Never really had any trouble starting it in gear, except for my little adventure with the tallights.

Sorry to highjack the topic, I can start this up somewhere else if it's an issue. I tend to be a flitter when it comes to time wastin' on the internets.
