G'day Gary.
That would be right. Cold motors like a rich mix, hence the choke. Warm/hot motors like it lean. You can try leaning off the pilot screw 1/4 to 1/2 turn or a smaller pilot jet.
Cheers

What bike is this? If it ran OK previously without an air filter, then adding one will richen the mixture and require re-jetting of the carburettor.
