the idle speed should be set at ~1500 after the bike is completely warmed up (about 10-15 minutes of riding). set it with the knob and don't touch it unless the idle speed needs to be readjusted after the bike is fully warmed up.

for cold starts, use the choke to start the bike, then keep using the choke in decreasing increments. it's an analog device rather than an off/on device. use the choke as the bike warms up to keep the revs about 2000-2500 until you can turn the choke off completely and the bike will idle on it's own w/o dying. again, touch up the idle speed with the knob only after the bike is completely warmed up. (10-15minutes of riding)

also, check your choke cable to make sure it's back on properly at that bracket down by the carbs. you removed it when you took off the left side carb cover.
