Mine is the opposite. It seems to only do it in warm weather. In the cold it always starts up with a high idle and then gradually comes down as it warms up.

I have recently noticed that when I first start my VFR the idle is around 1000 rpm and there is a knocking sound. I assume the knocking sound has something to do with the low idle since the knocking sound goes away once the bike warms up and the idle returns to normal (1200 to 1400 rpm). Could this be a sign that the starter valves are out of sync? Other than this, the bile runs great.
