    neat idea for choke lever

    I did this on my 85 R since my carb (huge mikuni) uses a plunger type choke on the right side that i would never be able to choke,kick, and start, I got this ASV non breakable clutch lever with hotstart on it off of ebay for about 40 bucks shipped, and damn if its worht it it works awesome for a choke lever and looks great to boot! I made my own cables for my choke from a bicycle cable repair kit from wallmart for 5 bucks. so if you want to make a clean looking clutch/choke setup this is the way to go!

    This style of choke was used on the old Kawasaki H2's (3 Cylinder 2-Strokes). Nice work on the fabrication though.

    I was actually thinking about doing something similar for my 200s for the compression release. if my 200s had higher compression making me need the compression release more, I would probably use a stock 400ex clutch lever and hook the parking break cable up to the compression release lever on the head.

    hey guys, no fab here!! this is a stock lever for a new CRF250 motorcrosser!, the only actuall fab is the cable for it, other than that it was a bolt on deal, really cleaned up my bars with it, next I want to add a billet throttle, and billet brake master.

    well I dont have a stock carb, mine is a 40mm mikuni that has the choke plunger on the right top side, It uses a cable that runs into the carb, I just cut a cable to fit crimped the end and walla choked it and ran!

    Hey syko, reed spacers take away from the working compression of a motor therefore mellowing out the hit. Its costing you HP.

    I like it. I may have to get one for my 350X & hook it up to the decompression, since I got a Goki on it.
