Default In need of help please !!!!!

I have a 83 GS650GL. My problem is that when I start the motorcycle with the choke on it will start fine, but when I take the choke below 3000 it will just die. Also with the choke on and I give it some throttle the rpm will drop until I release the throttle. Can anybody help me. Thanks

Sounds like your carburetor(s) are gunked up.

Have you checked the air filters also??? But more than likely it sounds like th carbs. The idle may be set too low as well.
