I went to start my bike up last night, give it some choke and all the tension disappeared.
Had a look at the carb end and the plastic slide that is pulled by the choke cable has snapped due to brittle plastic.
Is there a temporary repair for this or a replacement part available? Also, what is the process for doing this?
Thanks in advance

That looks exactly right, thanks.mechannibalism wrote: ↑Sun Jun 14, 2020 6:36 pmThis part? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/suzuki-gsxr- ... SwiFFequab
Looking at that, does that simply clip on?
Thanks

If it's the same as the early models it slides in. Hopefully someone with a GK76A will chime in.

Re: Choke Slide Broken at Carb - Repair??
Yes, mechannibalism is correct.
The plastic bracket just clips onto the metal slide bar.
I bought a brand new one when I rebuilt my bike, but I kept the old one as a spare.
You can buy it off me if you want it hutchy? It's a bit battered and discoloured, but it would still work.
Let me know.
