Hi I need a choke cable for my 83 400n any tips as to were to find one. Thanks As mentioned, Ebay or Silvers. I have had two new pattern chokes and they tend not to stay open long enough, in the pulled position. I found an old original one in one of my boxes and it still manages to stick open. Not sure what experiences others have had but might be worth bearing in mind. Gee. |

All 3 of mine have pattern cables, can't remember where I got them. 2 are fine but the 3rd, on my 400N, doesn't stay open, I have to hold it out. It's never bothered me too much as the bike always starts easily and I can let it go a few seconds after.

What you can try to keep the choke in the pulled position: Just underneath the actual knob, there is a rubber cap. Underneath this cap is a (plastic) nut. Thighten this nut and your choke will stay in the pulled position. Worked fine for me.  |

Doesn't work on mine, probably got it of ebay & ended up with a rubbish pattern cable whereas the other 2 were probably Silvers

Thanks for the info guys.
Having had a look at it this morning, i damn well broke the plastic part, so ordered a new one from David Silver and just hope that solves the problem.
Watch this space!
