Motorcycle Repair: choke, sportster 1200 custom, coughs

Question
I have a 99 sportster 1200 custom. I start it up with the chock full out and let it run for 2 min and then I push it maybe 1/2 way and start to ride.After a few miles I push the choke in to 3/4 in.The bike will idle fine and run great.If I push the choke all the way in thw bike spits and coughs.Is it ok to run with the choke 3/4 way in?  

Answer
It takes a while for the motor to warm up. As long as the motor warms up and you can push the choke all the way in, after the warm up, it doenst hurt anything. If your having the ride the bike like that then either your bike is running lean or you have another problem
Good luck and happy riding
