Shimming the needles will get rid of a nasty lean spot coming right off idle. If your bike stalls, hesitates, hacks or coughs when you are trying to pull off from a stop, you could use shimming.
Okay, my bike is stock and is currently having this problem only at cold start. By cold I mean storing in the garage in temperatures of 60s-70s degrees. My bike will start up fine without the choke, but getting it to go from a start will start to hesitate and die, therefore I must use the choke. After the bike has warmed up, there isn't any more hesitation and it's fine from a stop.

Would shimming make the choke not necessary at cold start ups?
