When I saw your post, I went to the garage to look at my choke cable, the left side choke cable plunger was also cracked off_with the threaded part still in the left carb. Are you going to replace the entire cable or just the plunger? I ordered both but could not find a Suzuki plunger, but did find this aftermarket_plunger set. I am not sure how to "sync" both cables to each of the two carbs. https://www.ebay.com/itm/36314355804...6843%7Ciid%3A1
    Hi Corvette95: It's nice to find another 1986 GS550ES owner that I can compare notes with. I am just going to replace the plunger which I had not looked it up yet so thanks for the link. I don't think syncing them is necessary in my case. I think just replacing them when I re-install the carbs is just a matter of feeding it into the carbs and screwing it back in. Looks like it is an easy swap (famous last words). I did a short video for you to see what is involved. https://youtu.be/GSdbQXKyZII Let me know if you need anything else.

      Single cable routes from bar lever to a place under fuel tank where it is mechanically joined in a small plastic case to two cables that terminate at the plungers.
      There's no synching as such in that the two end bits are shortish and subject to minimal stretch.
