Default 2003 VS800 Choke

I just purchased a 2003 VS800 (no manual included unfortunately). When I start it, if I do not hold the choke open 100% for about 30 seconds, it will stall out. I have 2 issues here.

1. Am I supposed to have to hold the choke to keep it completely open?
2. Should the choke have to be open 100% to keep the bike running when I start it in August?!


Thanks!
