    Choke lever on a 225DX

    I have a yamaha 225dx and the choke lever was broken off....as i was searching for one i realized snowmobile chokes are similar...what i wanted to know is if there was any snowmobile with the same choke lever....IDK what the original choke lever on my trike looked like so if anyone has a pic of theres please post it.... ( Or if you have a choke lever or know where to get one let me know also)
    THANKS!

    Mine's broke too. There's a piece of wire attached to the part thats left. Been looking for one, so if you find one on Ebay you'll be bidding against me..

Welcome to America, where the biggest is best and even fat people who are too lazy to shift can climb a mountain.

    I bought just the lever from my local Yamaha dealer a couple of years ago. It is the same lever they use on many sleds and a few quads.

    Try www.ronnies.com . Look your bike up on the parts fiche by year / model. They have the price listed. I bought mine from there a year or so ago. Those guys are really good, I've bought other things from them in the past.

    OK, it was the Timberwolf 250 that has the same lever, the 4 moto (200 and 225), YTM (200 and 225) YT60 all use the same lever. I think there were some more quads though. I don't have a list of the sleds but I remember seeing the lever on some and it was the same.

    Holland NY, were is that? I am in Chittenango which is a little east of Syracuse.
