Just a few questions....

Here is what I have noticed about my bike after riding a couple of weeks.

It will only start if the choke is closed (pushed all the way forward) and I turn the idle screw up. Ig I touch the choke at anytime it will either not start or stall out. After it runs for less than a minute I can back the idle down half and after the first couple of blocks I back it down more.

It tends to idle very high after a stop, especially a quick one, even after I have back it way down. I notice this even more if I have ridden a longer distance/time.

If I ride the bike hard or at speeds above 45 it will back fire every time I turn it off. Why does it do this?

I think that the back firing is more common with a carbed bike but I may be mistaken.

Do you think that my choke cable may need replaced? It seems that this is kind of common on these bikes (from what I've read).

Okay thank you, any and all opinions or advice is welcome!
