    Choke cable part help

    Looking to replace my choke cable. In this fiche, there are 4 cables shown. Throttle on the left, choke and clutch and something else on the right... parts 10 and 11, they are both labelled as "Cable, starter". I don't recognize part 10... what is it? It's not the tach or speedo.

    I'm assuming 11 is the choke cable I need.

    10: CABLE ASSY, STARTER MODEL X
    11: CABLE ASSY, STARTER MODEL Z

    You have a 1982, and thus a model Z, so you need number 11. (10 has a choke knob included, so I would assume 11 goes to a choke lever on the left-hand switch gear.)

        Ah that makes sense. Usually the site I was on splits the Z to its own fiche. But I guess not in this case. Thanks!

          would that same cable work for a 1982 GS55OL? Also, where can I find the lever? I've been searching the internet for this stuff for days but can't find a choke cable or lever

            Looks like the lever would be parts 16-19 on this diagram:

            And the cable would be part 9 here:
            http://www.suzukipartshouse.com/oemp...ceca/handlebar

            The part numbers on the cable do seem to be the same on our bikes, so yes that is the same cable!

            Generally if looking for OEM parts I usually order from Boulevard Suzuki. They are typically the cheapest. I do like looking for parts on SuzukiPartsHouse.com because they include ALL of the parts in their fiche diagrams (not just the parts that are in stock). I've used Bike Bandit too, they are a little faster sometimes but cost more.

              Also, I'm sure cliff will give you the "mega welcome" soon but please take a good look at this website:



              Check out the giant flashing READ ME section - it has lots of good info and vendor links.
