RE: Cold natured 883
When the 883 is cold, it stays cold for awhile.Use the choke to your advantage. Give it time to warm up. You can ride it with the choke in use, just don't forget to open it after awhile (push it in). The backfires are normal on any cold motor. It's their way of protesting that they are cold and don't want to go to work. As charley says, if it's only doing this when cold, you probably shouldn't get to bent out of shape to make changes. Ride safe.
