XTR doesn't like the cold?

Evening all,

We're having the start of our winter here and i'm noticing the old girl is not enjoying the cold weather.

The most noticable time was when it was 2c and freezing fog. the bike just feels reluctant and a little down on power. If it was on my old bike i'd of described it as carb freezing.

Is it the same thing as i always thought you couldn't get "carb freezing" with FI.

or is it something simple like big singles don't like being cold?

or is there something worth checking on the bike? it's in pretty stock condition, only mods are k&n and kev mod, and the idle is set to 16.
