loss of power in cold

"Ran perfectly" also means that you had no trouble getting it down off the "choke" without uneven idle and/or a bit of stumbling ?? If that is true, and you are bone stock, then it appears that your are lucky indeed.

I've ridin' in the 20's as well. As long as I give my bike around 6 or 7 minutes to warm up about 1/2 choke then 1/4 choke after 3 minutes. Mine will run perfectly too.
