Not weird. The bike was probably warm enough that it didn't need full choke or any choke at all. With your mixture adjustments, you'll be fine with maybe half choke. Temps will kind of dictate. Also another thing to consider is gas blends. Some states have a winter and summer blend gas. Not sure about NJ or when they change over (EPA mandates retailers stop selling winter blend gas no later than June 1st; Terminal facilities must meet the mandate to have summer blend gas no later than May 1st). It is a fact that mpg sucks balls with winter blend gas because you use more of it.
Here's some info on
The truth about winter gas.
Good to hear it's running great. As the temps change so will your mpg.
