Choke setting in the cold

[minieggroll]

Hello!

I was riding today and wondering what the appropriate setting is for the choke when it is cold outside. I was riding today with a high of 38 degrees needing about 1/2-3/4 choke for the bike not to die at idle.

I start her up with full choke for about 5 minutes since it is so cold. Am I using the proper choke settings and is this normal/okay for my bike to need half choke at this temp?

Thanks!
