When its cold out ill let my bike run with the choke on until it runs smoother, then unchoke and let it idle for another 5-10 min. Just so I know. Usually would go start it, then go brush my teeth. Now, if you live in a bad neighbourhood that may not be practical.

Hi.
Yes, nice girl and bike.
As for the choke and cool mornings, my old XS650 needs to sit there on the choke for a few minutes before I can even think about riding off. Some bikes are just cold-blooded.
I don't think that ringing ears are normal. Does your helmet have anything like the visor hinge sticking out into the airstream, right where your ears are? Anything sticking out can cause turbulence, which causes a constant rumbling right in your ears. I had a helmet like that, about drove me crazy.
