The choke should do it's job if everything is set up correctly. If you plan to run the bike for a long time,(in the cold) you might want a richer mix.

Larger jets if riding something like an atv. I'm planning to do quite a bit of idling and testing and fixing and more idling. I adjust the air jet, (just a bit) to try to set up a summer bike in winter. I'll have a lot of tuning to do when I get my motor back, and start putting everything back together.

-18C and windy last night. I left the pitbike sitting outside, and it fired on the 3rd kick.
Last week my son managed to break through the ice, and submerged the miniquad in about 2ft of water. Thawed it out yesterday, changed the oil (oily water), and away it went!
