The choke (enricher) is only used to start the bike, is not needed for riding once the bike warms up, which should be within a few minutes or a mile or so. This does not operate like the butterfly valve in an automobile carbeuretor, it is an enricher circuit that accomplishes the same thing by allowing more fuel to enter the carb, enriching the mixture.
If the bike dies with the engine warm, it's either the idle speed is too low or the carb (idle jet) is dirty, you should not need the enricher to supply more fuel to keep it running. Try the Berrymans for a while, it may clean it up.
