Choke cable type (pic)

[Loose Seal]

I need a choke cable. Easy, right?

So I looked at some that had pics on Z1 and some other sites. They didn't look right. I pulled up the schematics for my bike on bikebandit and ordered from them. I received the cable that I have seen pics of, standard plunger type.

Mine looks like a snail...with a tab of some sort that is broken off by the PO.

Anyone familiar with this or know where to source it?

I wish these bikes just had the little stubby chokes like dirt bikes. One less cable to uglify the bike.

That type of choke is found on '82 and newer Suzukis.

'80 and '81s with the CV carbs had pull-type knobs, usually mounted in the steering stem.
Earlier bikes with VM carbs had levers on the sides of the carbs.

16 thru 19 look to be the assembly. The diagram does not show it very well but it looks to me that # 16 is the broken part on yours. Best guess. The diagrams sometimes are not very clear.

I have an 83 and am also in need of a choke cable...I believe I ahve this same type..not the plunger knob style...where would I find one? I can only find the ones through 81...

Why doesn't someone make a version like they have on later Suzukis where there is a black knob on the side of the carbs and you just pull it out and all four carbs are fully choked.

That's exactly what I would like.

I ordered the cable for an '82...maybe I'll try my luck and order one for an '83.

Thanks for the microfiche pic, haven't seen that one before.

Check out part 67. But I cannot see what holds this knob in position while the choke is in the on position.

This is off the '88 600 Katana.
