    Choke Won't stay put

    Ever since I got the bike when you push the choke lever over to the left, the choke lever just moves back to the right. Not all the way, but, if you want to choke it you have to hold the lever in place with your thumb, or finger...What have you...I tried adjusting the cable at the carb bracket and it doesn't seem to do it...Any suggestion regarding this minor inconvenience?

    If its the hanblebar mounted lever, simply tighten the screw in the center of the pivot slightly. Carefully...its plastic.

    When consulting the magic 8 ball for advice, one must first ask it "will your answers be accurate?"

      If it's mounted on the left handlebar control, check the bottom of the lever, should have a screw there that you can tighten, maybe the washers is missing or worn, some of the parts are still available from Suzuki. Check Boulevard Suzuki.


      I actually have the lever and a spare washer and screw if you need it, I can pop it in the mail if you send me your address.
