The choke cable was completely mashed up on the monster, so i grabbed the haynes and started to take the bike to bits.
I finally got it out, but realised that in fact, the choke can easily work without the cable. There is a small metallic tab that you can press, which will have exactely the same effect pulling on the choke at the handle bars (left hand side, just between the carbs and the batterybox. It is spring loaded, so no risk of riding on the choke. When i get the monster runing again, i'll see how practical it is, and might dispose of the choke cable altogeter.
Has anyone done this ?

err yes they are mostly all like that ie slider on the carb (s) depending. my choke is a few inches of cable looped and bolted with some flex around the cable to protect the paintwork. v mad max and just tucks into frame when not needed coming out of the right hand side.
