Welcome to the forum!

Do you have to keep the choke slightly on even after the bike is fully warmed up? (Fully warm for these bikes takes a while.)

You open the idle screw enough ?
You synch the carbs by eyeball ? Then that idle screw setting usually too far closed unless you opened it up after that, typically you're better off opening it when you have it running.
Cool.
