Default New bike problem, I think.

Hi all. I just got a bike but I notice it takes 2 or so tries to fire it up. I don't give it any throttle when I start it but I should really have to, right? It's only on a cold start, too. It's brand new 2006 with about 52 miles on it. Should I be concerned and take it to the dealer? It's a 2006 GSX-R1000.

I had a gsxr-600 and never had that problem before, so I'm freaked out.
