2006 Suzuki LTZ 400 choke isue???

[archer292]

On a cold start with the choke on full, the bike will start and run but only for a few seconds. Then she dies. I can use the throttle with or without the choke to keep it running but she won't run past a few seconds with the choke on alone. It will stay running after I play with the throttle for a few seconds. Just doesn't seem right. Any ideas???

What year and have you done any mods to it ?? How does it run when its warm ?

Runs perfect when it's warm. I have a new old stock yoshimura team suzuki pipe i just put on but it did it with the stock pipe too. Everything else is stock size ( Hot rod crank and bearings, new piston, rings and gaskets all stock size). I bought the bike as a project and what a project it turned out to be. The piston and ring must have just been done because the honing marks were still there in the cylinder. Same thing I was going to do before I checked the conrod small end. I used all new parts anyway. Checked the valves, all good, cleaned the carb. Runs great other than the choke thing and it starts first time all the time so far, I just have to use the throttle.
