Well put eon.
I wasn’t saying not to use the choke. As eon seems to be echoing, I endorse the following:
1) Use the minimum amount of choke to get the bike to start.
2) Once it starts, start riding!
3) Once you’re moving, and especially if you don’t have any stops or intersections for a while, ease the choke back off. It only takes a couple of blocks for the engine to be warm enough where what you (SF) describe — where the engine fumbles when getting going again — won’t happen.
