I cant say how many times I did that when I had the stock carbs, does not hurt the bike, just the fuel economy.
As for how the choke works on these CVK carbs. when you pull the choke knob a plunger on each carb is moved, this opens an extra circuit to richen up the mixture (more fuel).
Not at all like older style carbs where a slide actually blocked the airflow to litterally choke the carb.
