15min? 30min? I see tons of info on this topic, and a lot of debate.

time to reach operating temp is going to vary depending on how cold it is, whether or not there is wind, are you riding it, etc.

just let it run for 1/2 hour,you'll be fine. Do this all of the time and no problems

But CSC will definitely help you get it going.

Agree. I know he got it started, but the lines that are reversed on some go to the charcoal canister that sits in front of the engine. The canister is marked, so it’s easy to verify. Mine would die after a few miles and the issue didn’t happen on the first few rides for some reason. CSC was very helpful. 500 miles and no issues since. Highly recommend the jet kit and the 47 tooth sprocket.

Interesting about the reversed lines. I probably put a whopping 10 miles on it this weekend just around my neighborhood. Boy did that need a solid warming up before I could walk away from it at about 35deg, it fired up immediately but I had to hold it around 4k rpm for 2min with full choke, then another 2min at 4k with half choke, then another 1-2min with no choke and holding around 2k.


UPDATE: I addressed this in a different thread, but in case someone else comes across this one, I also had the reversed hoses at the canister. Dead giveaway was a whooshing sound of air sucking into the gas tank when the cap was opened. Swapped the lines at the canister and 150mi later the issue appears to be fixed.
