Choke not fully responsive

[tommyardin]

Hi, Me again,


This months concern (after figuring out the running issue was down to spark plug caps and rain water) is that the choke is being a little unresponsive.


It does work, however when I shut it off it has a couple of second pause before the revs drop. This used to be instant and the time between the turning off of the choke and the engine revs dropping is getting longer.


I guess my question is basically "is this a big issue?" and if so "how do I fix it?" was planning to lube the choke cable tonight and see if that helps, but figure I should ask.


Cheers and if you find this particular question uninteresting, don't worry, I'll probably have more concerns soon 


*seriously though, thanks to everyone who helps when I post, it's massively appreciated

Hi after I got my FZS600 out of the garage after hibernation for a few months I pulled the choke lever around to fire the old girl up and the inner cable snapped, on taking the handle cluster off to remove the cable I pulled on the inner cable and it had rusted right through half way along, Obviously a point that water sits after an ingress into the cable.
I spent £9-00 on Ebay and it was delivered very very quickly. I have a cycle pump pressurised cable oiler so I gave it some treatment before fitting also did the clutch cable whilst I was at it.
If the cable breaks on you while out or away from home the choke can be activated by hand on the side of the left hand side carbertooter.
