I recently bought a gs550T 1981, and i noticed the choke cable is not attached to anything, I just found out my choke assembly is missing, the PO has misplaced it along with a couple of other crucial key components, any idea on where i can find a replacement? I have looked around and found them to be discontinued. Also don't have the air box top cover piece, is it necessary if i have replaced the air filter with a new one or do i need it in order for the bike to run properly

Hi babes. Do you mean the choke mechanism.is missinf from the carbs or justthat the cable isnt connected?
Also the airbox cover is needed to get a good pressure going inside the carbs.. But you could make one that fits snuggly if your handy...
Alternatively im sure someone here has a spare...
Good.luck.

Where are you based? -
A member here might have airfilter box cover- or ebay. "choke" knob probably came up thru steering stem-see pic1981 gs650L

Yea, it might be helpful to know which part of the assembly you are referring to - the carb side or the handlebar side. I found a couple of rod assemblies for the 82 550L (those and the T share the same carbs) but not the main bracket on EBay. How about taking a picture and showing us what you are missing.Cowboy Up or Quit. - Run Free Lou and Rest in Peace

i have an 82 550L that, if i can't get to fire over in the next few days, is going to become a parts bike. it has the choke assembly on the carbs, but the cable is useless and there is no lever on the handlebar. let me know what you need and we may be able to work out a deal...Comment

i have no way to attach the choke cable to the carb assembly, i have the cable and cluster on the bars, but nothing to connect it to down below. and i was thinking of just using a piece of aluminum on the air box, but if you know of anyone with a cover, I'm looking.Comment

What are you missing "down below" ? attached pic shows linkage layout ; choke bar is actuated by linkage just right of center. cable pulls it up and bar slides to right in pic1981 gs650L
