Effect of Cold Weather on CRF450

My 2005 CRF450 is all set and ready to go (all bearings greased, valves checked, new chain and sprockets, oil, etc.). I will be ridding trails tomorrow with a friend and it is supposed to be around 40 degrees here in Connecticut. Will I be OK to ride without making any carburetor adjustments?

It will be fine.

Go have fun.

have fun starting it! my buddy on a CRF250R had to warm the jug up with a hair dryer! When it was cold outside.
Good Luck!

As a follow up, everything was fine. It started up on the 3rd or 4th kick with the choke on, and after a minute or so I pushed the choke in and it ran fine. I stalled it a couple of times in some steep uphill areas with lots of rocks and it always started right up...never even used the hotstart. This was my first time ridding it - it is awesome!
