That is correct
Different than the normal cold start issues

You've been super helpful, thanks! Planning to get it tuned this week so I'll report back for anyone else who has the same issues.
I hope if fixes it!
How did you locate the leak ? Any check engine lights or anything?
The bike I had where it occurred wasn't an Indian and wasn't showing any error lights. The workshop manual mentioned trouble starting issues and the vacuum lines as a possible cause. I had tried a few things already that didn't work so decided to replace the lines out of desperation. After that the problem went away.
My assumption at the time was the cold start issue was caused by a crack in the line somewhere but once some heat was in the system things expanded and the problem reduced or went away completely.

I have same cold start issue. Never got it tuned. Never would start under 45 degrees. Didn't bother me much because don't ride if cold. Just got new battery. Same issue killed battery. Someone mentioned flipping ignition switch twice to prime fuel pump twice then completely press ignition. This has worked twice at 45 degrees. On vacation now, will check again when home.
