You will find it doesn't always need full choke to start. Warm weather, or recent running, might require only 1/2 or less to start.
Once it starts, back the choke off to keep the idle at 2000 to 2500 for a bit, then turn it off as soon as possible. It should only require a minute or 2 in normal conditions.
Start it up, get your gear on, and make sure it will idle without choke before taking off. It's best not to have choke on once you take off.
Never let it idle to warm up. Ride normally to warm it up, staying under 5000 or so until the gauge is in the normal range.
