Starts then dies

[McRuss]

I think I posted this last spring but can't find my thread if I did. At any rate, I had a problem with the bike (09 AE) starting and then dieing. I found that if I gave it more throttle as I started it, it would not die but I don't like high revs on a cold engine. I did a throttle body throat clean through the airbox with Seafoam spray and it seemed to be better for a while. But it is back. It starts immediately, and even if it doesn't die, runs very rough for a few moments/seconds before smoothing out and acting OK.

Any additional thoughts? I think my original post was about my dealer asking if I'd removed the throttle bodies lately to clean them.
