Ok, mine is at like 1250 til it warms up then it's at 750.
Let's see . . .cold start, dump clutch, score cylinders, premature lifter wear etc.,
Give it a minute to warm up and circulate the lubricant of your choice. Mobil1 isn't PERFECT!!
FWIW, there are no lifters in a F6B,,,
OK,OK!
NO lifters. But rocker arms, YES! Cam lobes YES!
Uh,,, No rocker arms either,,,
SOHC system, consisting of Cam/bucket/shim(s)/valve.
I've got a pic somewhere,, let me do some diggin,,,
Didn't find the pic I wanted, but,,
Here's a shot of a very similar Honda system;

Here's one of 'a similar SOHC design' ... (Cam removed):

Obviously not a Goldwing engine, but still uses 'buckets' / shims.
Mine hesitates, too. My '05 Wing did not. I'm Honda does a recall/fix, but I'm not holding my breath.
When I go out to the garage, I start the bike first thing, then I put on my gear, put in my ear plugs, put on my helmet, start up my Scala, and hopefully, that's taken long enough to warm things up. I'm treating it as I would my carburated VTX 1300R.

Being a retired aircraft tech and recreational pilot I learned to never do anything until oil temp is in the green............I have taken this to just about every engine in my life (of course with no temp gauge you know what I mean). Back in tech school in the '60's they taught nearly 70% of engine wear happens in the first minutes of engine start. Like others I start the motorcycle get the gear on roll it back out of the garage close the door and then on my way and no stalls for me (here in south Texas its hardly ever cold) ............ I don't know what plugs are in it.
I've been doing the same thing but I still get the stall. Happened this morning.
