Hi all,

  Just wondering if there is a fix for the choke cable without buying a new one? It seems to work its way to the lowest position as the bike is warming up. Thanks.

Flush the sleeve and cable out with brake cleaner, someone may have lubed it.... Or, install #40 pilot jets, I need way less time to warm up and shut the choke off. It may have good timing, the #40's idle better when cold, so when the choke self cancels, off you go....
