My '06 Foreman is cold -blooded too.I've been thinking about installing a jet kit to richen it up,but the gas mileage is great right now and I DON'T want that to change.Mine cranks a long time before firing,then usually stalls.The second crank it fires up and stays running with the choke out.I agree it's kind of a pain to remove/re-install that right side cover,but a couple pumps on the primer always helps it start easier.
