It has the choke that comes up through the triple tree and pulls straight up and down - not the kind that mounts on the handlebars. Bought a new one 18 mos ago and had to modify it to get it to fit. It's now rust/frozen. Other than a couple of weekends when I had to leave it outside while I was working on my car, it spent the entire time in my garage. Any specific sites/sources welcome.

I strongly advise in favor of OEM Suzuki parts. Available at a multitude of dealership parts sources, including online.Ed

Of course it won't fit because Suzuki didn't make a 1980 650G but this '81 part should work.

Yeah, I realized that after I posted, but Nessism answered before I even had a chance to correct. It's actually an 81.
Edit: I ordered a gently used one off fleabay - located in Akron, OH, so will get it before the weekend.Last edited by Guest; 05-20-2014, 01:43 PM.Comment

I got a used one for my 750L and while it does work I will be buying a NOS cable and keeping the eBay one as a spare.Comment

You're correct, I only saved $5, but that wasn't the motivating factor. It is strictly about logistics and getting it by the weekend w/o paying mucho dollars for expediting. The cable looked good in the pics...besides, what can go wrong with a cable?Originally posted by tkent02 View Post
As long as it isn't frozen/seized, it will be fine.

I just used to raid car breaker yards for choke cables, but now they've disappeared. Scouting ebay classic section brought me an assortment of NOS car choke cables, and I knew from previous experience what ones to look for. Now I think on it, the part-brat bike has a bonnet release cable as choke - much better T-handle on it. No reason for one to rust up, if you wipe the inner with gear oil when you fit it.Originally posted by mhobryan View PostLast edited by Grimly; 05-22-2014, 06:43 PM.---- Dave

80 GS850T Single HIF38 S.U. SH775, Tow bar, Pantera II. Gnarly workhorse & daily driver.
79 XS650SE - Pragmatic Ratter - goes better than a manky old twin should.
92 XJ900F - Fairly Stock, for now.

Mine was froze up when pulling the bike apart. I used PB blaster and let it set for a while. Gave it a good yank and it broke free. Lubed it up some and works like a new oneComment
