yup, it was only running at about 1000rpms, where it should be running at around 2500-3000. Exhaust pipes on number 1 and 4 where also cold compared to the two center ones. After a good ten minutes it was back to normal and I could run it without choke. As I said a cleanup is on the to-do list for the winter, it's september soon and only about a month, maybe two if i'm lucky, left of the riding season here so I'm not gonna do any thing about it now.

I also had/have this problem with starting. Cleaning the choke tubes and choke channels in the bowls seems to have helped, but she is still a bit finicky on a cold start (i.e., after sitting a day or so).
The first start rev for a second and then peter out happens also. Tried starting on PRI, but that didn't change things.Comment

Hehe, it's not THAT frustrating, if it was I would already be dismantling the bike. It just means that starting the bike takes 30-seconds to a minute extra then when it's warm. I can live with that for little while
Besides fixing this isn't gonna take just a few days. Me and my girlfriend both work, different shifts, we have a 1 year old son and I recently bought a Datsun Z, so there is plenty of things to keep me busy
