Yep, cold start is a pain with mine too. My procedure is to pull the choke all the way up, open the throttle a bit and then press the start button.

As soon as it fires up, I return the choke half way and the throttle too as it builds the revs quite high. Idling is not really there until the engine is warm enough though.

Indeed there is something about engine oil too, as I noticed that after cold start switching in first gear is quite rough and with a nice big clunk, and can even stall the bike. So, while warming the engine, a pull the clutch a few times to get the oil dispersed and in between clutch plates. Then 1st gear engages flawlessly.
