Yeah, make sure choke passageway is clean.
Each bike has its own technique.
I alwasy start with the following for coldstarts;
Ignition off, fuel on, choke on.
Give it a few kicks to "prime" it
Ignition on, and it should start in 1-3 kicks. My xt550 needs a little throttle after it starts, to help it running. I guess thats okay for a 36 year old bike.
I shut of the fuel a couple hundred meters before im home. Its a habit, but I had that working in hotstarts on my xt350.
