Mike, to maintain continuity try and stick to one post. It helps with the bigger picture.

In the first link above you stated that the dealership upjetted your bike? Why? If it ran good before, upjetting to address a symptom could cause future problems. You stated that the bike started fine with the choke on originally but you always needed the choke even after a short stop. I agree it sounds like your bike was lean but it wasn't a problem for you. Having said that, when properly jetted, these bikes only need the choke for the initial start (depending on temp).

For me (after the initial start/choke sequence) any start, even a couple of hours after the original, wouldn't need it. Also, you should have good drive ability with the choke on, other than a slightly higher idle. How big did they go with the jets? What is the config of your bike (exhaust, intake)? Your bike may be so rich now, that you don't need the enrichener any more and you also have the Procom variable?
