They are quite sensitive to too much choke I've found and it will only make starting harder sometimes if you persist with it.
At this time of year I only apply the choke briefly and sometimes only half on, just to get the engine going, then maybe hold the throttle slightly open with the choke off to warm up a bit before riding.
...slightly open meaning approx the normal idle speed of the engine when hot
