Default Choke problems

When I pull the choke out in the morning to warm up, it stays out for a little while, but then it sucks back in. If I come to an idle before shes warm enough, I either have to stay on the throttle a bit or pull the choke ouot and hold it until I ride off again. Ideas?

tighten the finger nut that's just behind the choke ****, just a VERY SLIGHT bit makes a big difference, so be careful.
