Hi guys. I am curious as to how long it takes to start your bike cold. I am also interested in the best way to make your bike start the easiest. Any tips and tricks to getting a good solid start would be appreciated.

The things I know will help so far are: clean carbs, iridium spark plugs, choke pulled out.

I have a dohc (vc carbs). It probably takes 6 or 7 turns with the starter before a single cylinder will start firing, and then rough idle for about 20 seconds, then 2 or 3 will start firing, before the last starts up. I would love my bike to start on the first push in the morning, am I asking to much of this 30 year old bike?
