Not necessarily.

Most bike's I've had will increase the idle speed enough that it keeps running even with the "choke" completely operated. This is with modern engines with an "enricher" instead of a "real" choke.

If it doesn't increase the idle speed at all and then it dies before the choke is fully operated, then something is definitely wrong, probably with the fast idle cam.
There is no fast idle cam on the G.Z.The "enricher" when closed richens the mixture by letting in more fuel,therefore speeding up idle.When my bike was stock it would act as you stated because of lean condition.When I done all three carb mods it takes much less choke to start the bike when cold.When warm the "enricher" will increase idle,and stall bike out because of richer mixture.
