Cold start issue resolved on 696

I think it'd be far simpler for the folks who still experience cold start issues to give it a try!

It's too warm in MI for me to try now anyhow. The current air temperatures are too high. The naysayers chimed in too late in the season. I just know my bike did not want to start even after addressing: oil viscosity, voltage, current, air, spark (new plugs, new wires), startup procedure, removal of evap canister, adjusting carb synchronization, doing a rain dance on a blue moon, waiting 30 seconds after the LCD scrolls, etc... Only when I drained the oil did it fire right up, even in 15F ambient. Logic would dictate that dropping the oil level solved the cold start issue on my 696.

If the air temperatures drop below 30F, I'll give it a shot and waste some oil to satisfy the usual suspects here. But looking at a long range forecast, we're going to be in the 60s-70s.
