Hi and welcome. 
First, please turn off the caps lock on your keyboard. Thanks ... we may be old here but we ain't deaf.
When you say 'choke doesn't come on', have you checked that the operating the choke lever actually moves the choke mechanism bar on the carbs?
Is the lever stiff to operate? Is the cable seized or broken?
These are the things I'd check first because it sounds as though your choke linkage isn't working properly.
What's the mileage and recent service history of the bike? Any more mods other than the K&N filter, which won't cause this problem incidentally.
Mike
