<><><><><><><><> <><><><><><><><> Joan, I haven't had to replace a choke cable yet. I'm kind of wondering what caused yours to break. I suppose the piece you're asking about is at the carb??? or is it at the handlebar? I guess either way I'd pull it now and take a good look at it. If I didn't see a problem I'd probably not replace it. But if it's the piece in the carb and it's hanging up then I'd probably order it. Sorry I can tell you what I'd do for sure.

I could have sworn a long time ago I saw someone who had modified the choke (maybe using a Harley choke) to remove the handlebar cable entirely? They had mounted a short push rod down near the carb?? Yeah - there is mention of it in the FAQ but the site it points to is DOA... ------- Is there a less-vulnerable choke lever available? With the choke out on the handlebar, it's possible to break it when you dump the bike. Lister Zach found a short choke cable for the CVK40 from Harley Davidson: Part# 29229-88C, Cable, Carburetor Enrichment. You need to come up with a mounting bracket, but you can check out an installation in the links section. While you're down there, be careful about breaking the plastic choke fitting on the carb. You can get an aluminum one from Stead Engineering. ------- Jim

There's also a KLX300 choke that mounts directly to the carb--just a plunger with a handle. Having a broken choke currently (I cut the sleeve short so the inner cable protrudes from in front of the gas tank... works, but a bit inelegant) I'm going to test it out. I've saved the discussion of it from earlier... now that the FAQ is a wiki perhaps I'll go add this info. Luke Randy Schultz wrote: "Res, I do like the mod. The Kawasaki part # is 16016-1068 and it was $21.33 at ronayers.com. All that is required to install it is to unscrew the stocker at the carb and screw in the new KLX choke in its place. Once you un-route the old choke cable back to the bar, one screw removes the choke cable at the bar. The only down side is that it isn't real easy to reach, in my opinion, though I don't have any real difficulty when I take a glove off. If you can picture a plunger extending an inch or an inch or so out from where the stock choke cable connects to the carb (left side of bike) then you can see what the access is like. Max pull out engages the detent. Spring loaded so it automatically closes when released. Of course, you can manually vary the choke in between. But the way I use it is strictly on/off during startup/warmup. It's just a minor mod, and I wouldn't have bothered except I was having a little trouble with my choke cable, was going into the carb for something else (and ordering some oem parts from ronayers) anyway, and with my vacuum line previously eliminated with Big Cee's petcock kit, and a quick release coupling on my fuel likne, getting rid of the last cable to my carb makes accessing things really easy."

Joan-- I'd order a cable luber--the neat little one that clamps over one end of the cable and allows you to force aerosol lube through the cable. It'll do the throttle and clutch, too. I just snapped a choke cable as well, but I have to (sheepishly) admit that though I'm really good with the other cables, I've *never* lubed that choke. I pulled out the broken cable and it was good and rusty for a stretch in the middle, right on either side of where it broke. Serves me right. I'm swapping it for a KLX choke though.
