    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I had my bike up on the back stand to replace the stator. I moved the wheel all the way to the left and right a few times to get the crash bars off. When this job was all said and done the choke cable would not pull up. Instead of going the correct way and pulling off the gas tank to see why it was binding I pulled hard until it broke... I can reach in there and lift the linkage to accuate the choke which then springs back to "choke off" so I think I'm still okay there. I've ordered a new cable and want to know if there are any caveats so this doesn't happen again.

Thanks

Route it correctly.
There should be a diagram somewhere in BassCliff's welcome in your manual. ;)

I pulled the old cable and found 3 bad areas. I have attached a pic so if you have a similar problem this could be why.
