Reconnecting throttle and choke cables

[pete]

Macguyver's bike was an '81, and would have had the "choke" cable in the middle, not out on the handlebar. That setup started with the '82 bikes.

.

Aaaah I see! However is the hookup on the carbs the same? If so, then Macguyver's setup should still work as from memory he made a bracket to actuate the choke directly... sort of the opposite of what I did by making mine 'bar mounted instead of using the lever on the carb

Hey Steve, mine is an '81 650E with the choke lever on the left handlebar underneath the horn button.. I wonder if the center pull chokes were a difference between different models..

Although I'm still going to read Macguyver's thread as I too am interested in relocating mine..

As Steve said, 81 came stock with center pulled knob- the controls often get replaced.
