Guest Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 a broken cable will revert the choke to "off".some days its warm enough not to need it, others arent.get a new cable and fit it following the old line (you'll need to remove the seat and tank to do this)..leave it and you'll want the bike one cold morning and not have a easy choke, which means playing about under the tank pushing the choke mechanism by hand,..leaving the choke on after its needed wont do any harm, you'll just use more fuel, if its on too long or too rich the engine will tell you.. hope thats what your after...wemoto will be able to supply you a choke cable for your XJ600n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
