Default my 400ex takes along time to warm up

my 400ex takes along time to warm up even when its hot outside. My brother has the same exact fourwheeler and it takes no time to warm up. Whats the problem?

Do you have any mods done to it? Do you know the jetting in your carberator? Is it hard to start and keep running before its warmed up?

Go two steps up in your main jet. Maybe one in the pilot jet.

Maybe just a carb setting, My friends 500 Foreman since new was always cold blooded to start then he drown the ATV on a deep water crossing. He had a guy clean and adjust the carb and it starts up better than it ever did since he owned it in the last 3 Years,its like a different machine he tells me.
