Try it with no choke. If that doesn't work, try the choke half way out. If that doesn't work, pull the choke all the way out, start it, push the choke half way in, ride until warm, push the choke all the way in.

Humidity doesn't matter to an engine.

is that the way your bikes are where you have to use a little choke in warm weather??? i had a viraggo 535 i think i can''t remember the cc's but it hardly ever need choke or is the suzi more of a not freindly bike on cold starts 8-24 hours of sitting??could the idle speed be a tad low i was thinking and drinkin about that,this all started after i did the spacer mod didn't work out it was way to rich on midrange so went back to stock and double checked my work, i even sprayed starter fluid around my carb and the boots to make sure there no leaks and the exhaust as well seems air tight

Bone stock, mine would start with no choke no matter how cold. Pulled the brass plug and riched it up a tad, now requires just a hair of choke for the first couple minutes, to get things warmed a little. Whether it's needed or not probably depends on all the carb settings, temp, possibly elevation :-/, I'm sure people much more smarter than me can fill in the gaps. :D

80 degree ambient temperature, it should start without choke, but while the engine cylinder's getting warmed up, pulling out 1 click on the choke knob should help speed the process and increase those idle RPMs.

I'm at 400 ft elevation, 25-50% humidity, i almost always use 1 click out on the knob when starting and leave it out for maybe a minute on a warm day, couple minutes more on a cold one (below 50 degrees F or so)

OKAY CAUSE IT'LL TURN OVER JUST REALLY SLOW FOR A SEC THEN PICK UP TO NORMAL RPM, SO MAYBE IT IS ACTING NORMAL

PT,

The way I understand it is that, on a humid day, there is water vapor in the air which slightly decreases the amount of oxygen in the air for a given volume.

Less oxygen means a richer condition. You are less likely to need the enrichener ("choke") on a humid day than you are on a dry day, all else being equal.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, please. :-/

A hundred plus degrees,.. your engine considers cold...

A warm happy motor, is scalding hot to us humans....

Do what the motor likes, regardless of outside temperature...
