Yet this time, it only went up as high as 3.5K with choke on to warm it up. Is this normal?
doesn't really matter. what matters is that after the bike warms up it idles at 1500. does it?

btw, it isn't good for the bike to idle at 3.5-4.5 at startup. I play with the choke lever once the bike is started to try to keep the idle revs at about 2-2.5K. it's a touchy thing and just a slight movement of my choke lever will let the idle drop significantly at one point.

Don't treat the choke lever as a digital device, but more like analogue.
