    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Choke won't stay fully up...

I had a similar problem, I hand tightened the knurled knob at the bottom of the choke stem and it seems to have worked fine. Never thought of the twist idea.
 
must be only certain models the twist action works, but saying that a lot of cheaper aftermarket cables do not have this function

I just unscrewed the top nut all the way, took small piece of flexible tubing and placed it in there (I forget if between nut and cone or between cone and cable/rod)

Pretty much free, took 2 minutes, and now my choke stays in place again.

Hmm...

I tightened the knob on mine until I broke it, and then I bought a new $22.00 OEM cable. I like your idea better...
 
I put in the Canada spec pilot jet and air screw(main too.) The GS starts perfectly without choke now.
 
The bike should start up without choke if the motor is still a little warm. Sounds like something was missed in servicing the pilot circuit or you have an intake leak.
 
Mine used to "slip" down all the time and I would be doing all the fancy moves to get it to start. After about 3months of riding, it kinda just fixed itself...sooo maybe just ride it out??
