Choke problem?

I get a similar thing happen to mine every now and then. I've found that if I have to put a little choke on while the engine is running I have to give the throttle a little blip otherwise it stalls (I think it's because it can't handle the sudden extra fuel intake and just gets strangled, so a little blip pushes it through) if I put the choke on before starting up then it has no issues. When it starts sounding abnormal from this issue, I do like fazersharp stated and give it a good thrashing and so far that has sorted it.

If you feel that the bike will need choke, ie: very cold mornings, then you should put the choke on first then start the bike and adjust the choke so that it's at a reasonable tickover level.
Turning the choke on after it's started will just make the bike run like shit, as you've found out.
Put the choke on about 25% if you need to use it.
You shouldn't need it at all in this weather we have right now though.

Putting the choke on a smidge (when needed) before starting the bike is what I do 99.9% of the time but there are those rare occasions when you're in a hurry and you just don't think and try to use the choke when the engine is running, and giving the throttle a little blip seems to correct it.

The time I have to set out in the morning's for work it's chuffing freezing at the moment plus my garage seems to really hold the cold in, it's like a bloody freezer
