I have to maintain the choke several minutes (in city traffic) to avoid the stop of the engine, and even after +/- 25 minutes of riding the water temperature indicator just raise from its cold position (external temperature +/- 5 degrees in Belgium).

I had the same problem, (engine stops), with my RD07 when I bought it in
Sweden last September. The problem soon disapeared, I'm not sure if it is
because the engine needed some running in , or if the dealer made some
adjustements during the first service.
Since I'm living in England now it doesn't get as cold as it did in Sweden
of course, but I'm driving to work every morning and we have had some
frost nights, (the bike is parked outdoors).
I normally start the engine with full choke and after
just a couple of seconds it will run without choke.
