It's one of those things you get to know.....depends on the bike, temp. how long since it was last running, which way the winds blowing....from cold when its cold I use full choke/no throttle, if you ride off with the choke on its another thing to remember as you're riding. I've had bikes that didn't like full choke, some like a whiff of throttle, some have tested my patience and endurance trying to start them. One bloke I knew pushed a bike up and down a very big hill trying to start it, he failed, and on the last run down the hill let it free wheel and jumped of as it launched into the river!!!!! Patience and understanding.
If you leave the choke on too long the bike will stutter and hold back.
If you knock it off too soon the bike will die as you open the throttle, you'll get to know the spot on the road where the motor is warm and happy with no choke and knock it off at that spot automatically.
