New guy with questions

Good deal man She up and running.First half hour she would stall between 1000-2000 rpms so take offs were'nt smooth but ran great at high rpm.
After the half hour of crappy running she cleared up and my idle is set at 1200 rpm.Whats the normal rpm supposed to be?The first start up took about 5 minutes,it would start and stop and idle only.Now that its warmed up it starts first crank.I will let it cool completly and try later too see how much issues I will have.I know it needs new plugs
Now that shes a runner i guess its time to tackle the wiring problems and decide if I want a body or a streetfighter look.
This bike is my first sportbike,its faster than any other bike I had but I expected more accelaration,it was good I just thought it would be faster.None the less 0-140 was quicker than any thing I ever driven.
one more thing.How is the choke suposed to work,I know that when the lever is up its on choke if I put it in the middle choke is off but if I slide the lever all the way down it increases the engine rpm to 3000.Is that a warm up setting? or is something wrong?
I guess I should just buy a manual soon

Up and running!! Sweet
Excellent. A couple fresh tanks of high octane run through will make it better too when you get to ride. The lever all the way down is full choke. Put the lever all the way down to full choke, start it up and let it run for a few then pull the lever all the way back up. You'll usually only need it from a cold start. When you're ready to change the chain and sprockets you can play with a larger rear sprocket which will get you off the line a little faster. I have 2 F4's. One is a streetfighter and one I just pimped and stretched the swingarm 6". The red one has a 47 tooth rear and 15 tooth front sprocket. The fighter has a 54 tooth rear and a 15 tooth front. 54 tooth makes it geared really low but it'll pop up the front end pretty easy for wheelies and other stuff. Here's some pics:

Sweet f4's
I will take a photo of my choke lever,it has a choke symbol at the top,meaning up is choke on
then there is an arrow pointing down,if I slide the lever all the way down the rpm increases to 3000.maybe my choke control is notfor an f4
also what should therpm be set at?
Thankxz for all the help and the streetfighter insperation.I searched yesterday for streetfighters and your f4was one of the pics I saved to study

You have the right choke. The choke symbol at the top means the choke is off. When you push it down the choke is on and lets more gas flow through which raises the rpms to 3000 in order for the bike to warm up. Let it warm up for a few and push the lever back up and it will be idling normally. The idle should be around 1300 to 1500 once it is warmed up. Keep in mind if you start messing with what the idle is set at then it may throw the carbs out of wack for what they are sync'd to. A carb sync is a good idea once you have everything up and running. It'll make a hell of a big difference with the performance of the bike.
