Manual Choke?

[Guest]

Is there a way I can eliminate the handlebar choke setup? I'd like a manual choke down on the carb rack like the KZ900's have. I don't know if their VM26's use the same rack as the GS. I've been doing some interweb searches, but cannot find anything...

For reference, '79 GS750.

The earlier 750s had the lever on the side of the carbs, just buy the rod/lever and the spring, screw, washers, you should be good to go. I did this on my 1000 with the same VM26 carbs, very easy to do.

What he said

But, you have to pull the carb rack to access the choke lifter set screws

What he said, but it's super easy to remove the rack on the early 750s.

i like what you both have said. but the parts fische for the 1977 gs750 seems to be a photo copy from 1977 and the quality to go with it. and the parts diagram for the carbs doesn't list the choke lever as being an available part anymore (item 50 it looks like)

I can probably just make one if I can find a better image of how it's mounted, the spring needed, etc.

the lever/shaft is no longer available. you will have to source a second hand one from somewhere, or if you are VERY lucky, a NOS from somewhere
