Popping while warming up?

[Admiral Crunch]

My GS doesn't run smoothly while warming up, or at least while the choke is on.  A "popping" sound is the best I can describe it.

BduuuuuuuuuBduuuuuuuuuuuuBduuuuuuuuuuu is the best way I know how to describe the sound.  Like it stumbles for just a half-second every few seconds.

A couple of times I needed to start moving quickly and rode with the choke still half-on for the first minute.  I felt the power cutting out for a split second every few seconds.  At this point, I went ahead and turned off the choke and it smoothed out.

Is this normal, or is it a symptom of a problem?  Thanks in advance!

its running alittle rich with the choke on, it may have been tuned at altitude, dont open the choke as much so you let a little more air get in,
try that and let us know, im sure the other guys will let you know if they think of some thing else

i have had the same thing happen to me with my 2006 GS before.  i thought it was normal cuz the choke was on so it was giving it a little gas while i was riding.
