QUESTION: i warmed up the bike tonight andleft the choke out about half way i pulled out of my drive onto the road and it spit and backfired the whole mile it did not matter if i put the choke in or out after about 3 miles the bike run normally

Answer
It sounds like you have a intake leak and once the motor warms up the leak seals from the expanding of the engine. Check it with some carb cleaner. Spray a little around the intake with the motor running. If the RPMs go up, then you have a leak
Good luck and happy riding
Mike
