You're confused--using throttle leans it. In any event, the computer should provide the extra throttle that on Oilheads the rider did with the fast idle control. And BTW, no BMW motorcycle has ever had a choke--despite what the control said.I know it don't run rich enough to start. I know that. And that's the point. I'm not the only one who has to use throttle to start it. Why would it run rich when cold but not enough to start. That makes no sense.
Now, it may be some defect my bike has. But it sure don't run rich when cold. Or it would start.

'My 2012 manual says start it up and ride away'This morning was about 40 degrees and the bike started real rough. It is garage kept so garage was somewhat warmer. Took maybe 15 seconds are so to calm down...then I let it idle for maybe a minute then all was well.
What kind of warm-up time before taking off?

Whatever it is, I really like the ride of the R1200 RT, so I am going to put up with it's "character".
The OP was having problems while cranking, ....
