I apply the same method: I always start with choke.
In the morning after 1km I switch it off again.  Otherwise the engine stops
when I halt, e.g. on a crossroad.
Later on, if the bike has been used already that day, I start with choke,
take offf and immediately switch it off.

I don't know about the @, but I've driven 3 Transalps too: 2 couldn't start
without choke, but then the 3d one only needed choke on really cold winter
mornings.  Still, I went to the same dealer and the bikes all behaved
alike.
