I removed it. It always had a bit of slop at the lever, and the terrain I ride means lots of vines, plants, branches, etc slapping against the bike and there was nothing worse than having something pull the choke and stall the bike or load it up.
I never really encountered any issues often, but considering I only use the choke for around 30seconds in the morning when I first start the bike I don't see any advantage or need to have it on the bars where it can cause issues.
