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...

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.

Replacing Choke/Throttle Cable

I apologize for the basic nature of this question however Ive had a hard time finding a procedure and like to be sure Im doing things correctly.

I recently had my carbs rebuilt and decided to replace both the choke and throttle cable upon reinstallation.

I bought suzuki replacement parts. I notice there is an adjustment at the carb and at the handle for the throttle and at the handle alone for the choke.

Can some one out line the procedure, i.e. choke position and throttle position upon installation. Where do you want to take up the slack to have future room to adjust.
Thank you
 
Regarding both, i generally like to ensure that they have a very slight amount of freeplay when not in use (choke off, throttle closed). When setting up the throttle, be sure that the cable doesnt pull and cause the engine to rev when turning the handlebars to full lock either way. I had this problem when i changed to aftermarket handlebars. I usually take up most of the throttle slack up at the carb end, and save the top one for fine adjustments. Ive never adjusted my choke, and have had a broken choke handle for 2 years now, but i would think that as long as rod on the carbs is all the way in when not in use it should be good... Theres definitely more knowledgeable folks here who can better explain.
