On my 99 the choke was "fickle". Depending on the temperature the position to put the choke in changed.

Is it only in the morning when the bike is cold? When I got mine, the battery was strong and then it started to act up like u were describing. I was told to replace the stator and rectifier. I still don't know if that was the problem, cause since then I don't have extra $$$$ to get em!
