Right. So my Curvy has carb heaters.

Question is- do they come on as soon as the ignition is turned to on (before starting the bike)?

Second question is- is it a good idea in these sub-zero temperatures to therefore switch the bike on and leave it for a 30 seconds or so before starting it (with lights off, so as not to drain the battery). Will it make any difference?

Cos the bike is a bugger to start on these uber-frosty mornings...
