Though we're now into Spring, I note that the Trophy SE doesn't like cold weather: she won't fire up without throttle manipulation. In the old days, you'd pull a choke, but with EFI technology, I would think the bike would fire up regardless of temperature.
Anyone experience this issue, and if so, is throttle manipulation the only resolution?

I suspect you have a problem. Mine starts easily every time.

I ride to work all year long. Morning start ups in the low 30's F with no problems. Turn the key, wait for suspension to finish cycle, hit start bottom, and she purrs like a kitten. No "throttle manipulation" required. Note: when the temps really drop like to 25 degree F it cranks slow but that is more to do with low amps from a cold battery.

My 2013 doesn't care what the temperature is, it starts and high idles when it's cold for just a few seconds, then settles back to normal idle.

There are a number of Sensors that are utilised to provide optimum fuelling
for various temperatures and conditions, including ( but not limited to ) :
Ambient Air Temperature Sensor
Air Intake Temperature Sensor
Barometric Pressure Sensor
It is possible that a fault with one of these Sensors could result in Cold Starting difficulties.
Check to see if there any "DTC's" ( Diagnostic Trouble Codes ) that have been stored,
which may give an indication of the problem.
Refer to this Topic :
Servicing Data, Reference Info. & DTC ( Fault ) Codes
-
Scroll to Reply #8 for information on how to display any DTC's on the Instrument Panel.
There is also a downloadable "Word" file at the end of that Post
which explains the meaning of any DTC's present, and other information.
Cheers

Umami. Another thing is to keep your Trophy on a battery charger/tender at all times when not riding it. This will keep the battery at the maximum charge for trouble free starts.

Have to agree you might have an issue. I have hit the starter and fired it up in temps down in to the teens with no throttle manipulation or long cranks.
