Takes a while to warm up my GS400

[Anonymous]

I have a GS400T, which takes a long time to warm up. On some posting, I read that it should only take about 30 seconds before the engine is warmed up, but in my case I can let it run for about 5 minutes, and still if I rev it, it will begin to bog at about 3500 RPM. This symptom goes away after I drive it down the road, less than a quarter mile.
I'm new to riding, so I don't know if this is normal. It doesn't cause a big problem, as I simply ride slowly for the first quarter mile, then I can rev as much as I'd like. I just want to know if this is the sign of a larger problem.

warmed up in 30 seconds???/ LOL I don't think so.

it does sound like you are running a bit lean, adjusting the air screws will help this.

I used to have some problems with that, but I found a way to get mine to work properly in about 30 seconds. Not fully warmed up mine you, but so it doesn't die.

I start it with the choke on, let it idle for 20-25 seconds, then take it up to 3-4 grand RPM, then turn off the choke, and rev it a few times, and its gold

Hmmm, start up a cold engine and immediately rev it up before the oil pump has time to get oil to various parts. I dont think so.

i let it sit about 20-25 seconds before bringing it up to 3-4 grand. I suppose I should have been more specific.
