stevie16v Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 The choke on my sr125 wont stay out, Is there a kit that can be bought to repair it, or is there a way to fix it? apparently its a known fault but i cant find anything about it Quote
Guest Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 if i could remember how the choke was meant to stay out i would help but for the life of me i cant as i remember mine did this and i did fix it eventually but cant remember how but until i did i just used a peg with a small hole drilled in part of it with a thin piece of wire/rope attached to peg and the chassis allowing it to just hang there when not needed ....

Good idea tim, Never thought of that! It is a wee spring loaded peg. I think there must be a wee clip inside it that catches but its a sealed unit Quote
Bill_on_a_bike Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 My SR has the same problem, and was told by Yam. Mechanic it's a common problem.Mine will normally fire without choke so I don't use it much though. If I do I either hold it out manually for just a few seconds, or peg it out Short of replacing the carb, I don't know how to fix the issue entirely. Quote
stevie16v Posted December 3, 2008 Author Posted December 3, 2008 Thats for that bill. I might try and get an eclaip or something around it. On the cold mornings it needs choke for a couple of minutes Quote
Guest Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 remembered my fix was ..BUT PLEASE I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU FOLLOW MY FOLLOWING MESSAGE..I slightly bent the choke lever/rod just a small amount so that it required a little push to disengage and a firm pull to engage the choke .....and i mean slightly .....but as disclaimer says its up to you Quote
stevie16v Posted December 3, 2008 Author Posted December 3, 2008 Magic, maybe give that a wee try, Got one of the woman i work with hubbys whos a mechanic gonna have a look at it when hes home, works abroad Quote
