In case this helps, the starting procedures for the CA95 (and C95) are very specific, according to the owner's manual (below). For cold engines, the manual only specifies a half-open choke. My CA95 only needs the choke slightly set, maybe 1/4 choked, if the engine is cold, but each bike is unique. I wouldn't be surprised if a full choke setting would flood the engine, making it difficult to start.
