When my carbs were stock jetted, I started the bike with 100% choke, then cut it back to about 80% choke to ride to the first traffic light about 1 mile away. If it started to idle fast during the first few miles, reduce choke down to about 50% or where the idle just drops down. After about 3 miles, 0% choke.
This worked down to about 20 deg. F.
Post Holeshot Stage 1, I start with about 75-85% choke, then drop to 50% after it's running, and 0% choke after about a mile or so.
