This is a common issue with the 250s. Partly because it is one of the last carbourated bikes. With all cold starts on the 250, it needs to be choked. If, after it warms up, it still wont idle, then it may be that the low speed jets are clogged. To clean these, you need to take out the carbs, remove the bowls and unscrew the jets. Please refer to faq.ninja250.org for carb cleaning detailed instructions.

What causes a 1993 Kawasaki Bayou 300 to idle only in choke position and bog down when you push on the gas?

Possibilities are - stale fuel, how old is it? Blocked main jet or stuck needle jet. On choke, there is a little fuel which bypasses the main and idle jets, this allows it to idle with very little air. When you give it throttle, it uses all the fuel and air this bypass and idle jet can provide very quickly, and then starves for fuel as the revs increase. Basically the carby I would say needs a very good clean out, including all the jets.
