I read this post this morning and it's interesting. Decided to start my bike cold without waiting on the light to go out. Started better cold and the rest of the day. Just kind of wish FuelMoto would put that into the instructions. Oh well, I gained some knowledge here.

+1 for getting your tuner to take out 5%+ at start up and don't wait for the light.
