It starts OK but after the cold running (choke?) has finished the engine becomes very erratic. Previously, after the same period, the engine would cut out. If I used the starter with no throttle applied it would restart, but as soon as I opened the throttle the RPM would increase and then the engine would cut out again. After several attempts the engine would be fine again, so I put that down to an annoyance. Now I can't predict when the engine is going to cut out.

These bikes have problems with the intake manifolds. Check if they have cracks. Check also the fuel hoses. You will observe that its not idling properly.

Sounds like the auto choke is playing up.The only way to check .is to disconnect it when the bike is warm to see if it makes any difference.A new auto choke costs APROX. £25.
