It is a bad idea to let your bike ( or any other engine) idle with the choke on. You should ride it gently as soon as the motor is running reliably ( 20-30 seconds) and get it off choke as soon as possible. Idling with choke on will wash away the oil from the bores and cause early bore (and ring) failure. I suspect you are beginning to see this condition.
I dont know why but I see it a lot on the Triumph forum, for some reason Americans tend to start and let their bikes idle on the choke. Even with free petrol, I cannot see the reason for this.
