Cold Blooded T100

I've had this 2016 Triumph T100 since July. It isn't the water cooled, just has the oil cooler. It always started fine in the summer. Now that it is getting colder here in Arizona (40˚F) it has a heck of a time firing up. I ride almost every day so it doesn't sit much. Still you have to crank it for a long time with the choke before it fires up. Then it needs to warm up for 5 minutes or it will spit and sputter if you try to drive off. Once it is warmed up it runs fine. My question is, is this normal? My old 2008 Honda 230 fires right up every time.
Thanks to all you Triumph owners. This is my first Triumph, I've ridden Jap bikes for 50 years.

 

Thanks Joe. It came with NGK Iridium Plugs, I just installed some new E3 plugs yesterday. I'll try starting it today and see if it makes a difference.

 

Update on the E3 spark plugs... didn't make a difference. It took 3 long cycles on the start button with full choke before it sputtered to life. It is 40˚ this morning, good thing I have a Lithium battery in it.
I guess these Triumphs just start hard when cold. My old Honda 230 fires right up in 1 second!

 

I don't think so, it reads 13.2 volts and turns over nice and quick, just doesn't come to life until it cranks over for a while. I've tried NGK Iridium plugs and E3 plugs, makes no difference. Probably the pollution crap that's installed on it.

 

It just turned over 8,000 miles.

 

Ha, good one. We bundle up when it gets below 80˚ here in Arizona.

 

If I ever get it sorted out I'll post it.

 

I know the place well... climate here is great except for the summers! Then we go to the high country to cool off.

 

Lots of cool car shows in AZ, and no rust!
