I use the cold start/fast idle lever to start the bike every time, I wouldn’t call it a cold start, as it helps start the bike what ever the temperature, I just pull the lever and press the start button, no need for throttle as the lever increases the idle to a rev level where the engine is running at 2 to 3 thousand revs, it works perfect, and my Flat tracker starts perfect 100% of the time, first time, when the bike fires up, leave the lever pulled for a few seconds, then slowly release it, works every time.
Just another tip, if you decelerate using the gears when riding, and you pull the little lever at the same time, you get amazing back pops on demand, childish, but it makes me laugh every time, try it, tell me another bike that has a back popping lever?
