Choke it for about 30 seconds at the most, or until you start to see the bike running at a more normal pace without fluxuating as it does when u first start it up from being cold..
Dont leave the choke on any longer than u have too..and certainly dont ride while the choke is on. Excessive warm up time can lead to fouled plugs and gunked up carbs so just be careful.

Not that I'm an expert, but I use mine for start up and just as soon as it's reached max idle RPM, I cut it off, let the bike idle while I don my gear. So far it hasn't blown up so I'm guessing I've not screwed up... yet."Never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly"

Your target RPM here is 2k RPM -- use whatever amount of choke is necessary to hit that RPM level, and throttle back the choke to keep it from rising higher (you want the oil to move around, but you don't want to sear the rings without sufficient oil). 30 seconds later, choke off, use the throttle control if necessary.
If it's below freezing, you may need to choke it a bit longer to keep it running... but it's important that if you do, afterwards you let the engine come all the way up to full operating temp so the plugs will burn off the excess fouling.

the choke in essecense is to help the bike get started???
I always fire it up with the choke and soon as it stablizes I kill it and use the throttle. The previous owner use to leave the choke on for a few minutes before he killed it. The seems to be running better now.... THOUGHTS<---Whatever or Whoever u do RIDE it hard--->
