the plastic in my choke cable broke where the cable clamps up the the bracket... It still works but i have to hold it with 2 hands making it annoying... and it doesnt want to stay in the bracket now too... im annoyed its plastic and can break. is there an upgrade to a metal one that will last longer? | ||

Honestly it's kinda wired that yours broke IMO. I've logged over 60,000 miles in 8 years (3 years with no miles) and never broken one. I would just replace it with a new stock piece IMO. | ||

They do break. Easy fix, no upgrade I know of. Have to remove the carburetor though. http://americansportbike.com/newdir/Item/5052 | ||

I've broke a few of them over the many years of working on these things. The ones from Mikuni are made of metal and are a direct replacement. Look for the ones for an HSR42 or HSR40, if I recall which ones will fit. The part listed for American Sport Bike above is not the choke (actually the enrichener circuit control) cable, it's for idle adjustment. | ||

Rick is planning on a Mikuni anyway, do they come with a choke cable? I thought they utilized the stock choke. My Mik came with a choke but I bought it second-hand, so I figured it was added by the PO. | ||

so i was doing some carb work... it had been sitting for a while so i went through the carb. i noticed the butterfly doesnt open up 100% is this normal? or is it a cv thing? yeah im running out of carb... i have a flat spot up top i cant tune out, guy on the dyno says ive maxed out the cfm of the carb | ||

Phelan, i think its going to be my winter project. when i take the motor down for disassembly. I dont want to spend a week tuning it, just want to get back on the road... 2 years is too long! NO MORE DOWN TIME |
