    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.

Manual Choke?

Is there a way I can eliminate the handlebar choke setup? I'd like a manual choke down on the carb rack like the KZ900's have. I don't know if their VM26's use the same rack as the GS. I've been doing some interweb searches, but cannot find anything...

For reference, '79 GS750.

The earlier 750s had the lever on the side of the carbs, just buy the rod/lever and the spring, screw, washers, you should be good to go. I did this on my 1000 with the same VM26 carbs, very easy to do.

What he said

But, you have to pull the carb rack to access the choke lifter set screws
 
i like what you both have said. but the parts fische for the 1977 gs750 seems to be a photo copy from 1977 and the quality to go with it. and the parts diagram for the carbs doesn't list the choke lever as being an available part anymore (item 50 it looks like)

I can probably just make one if I can find a better image of how it's mounted, the spring needed, etc.

the lever/shaft is no longer available. you will have to source a second hand one from somewhere, or if you are VERY lucky, a NOS from somewhere
