The choke cable is a component that enables the rider to operate the choke mechanism on the motorbike. The choke is used to enrich the mixture of air and fuel during cold starts to enable better combustion.
It consists of a flexible steel cable that runs from the choke lever on the handlebars to the choke mechanism on the carburettor or injection system. The choke is activated or deactivated by pulling or pushing the choke lever.
When starting the engine at low temperatures or after a long period of inactivity, the choke cable should be pulled to enrich the mixture. This improves the ignitability of the fuel-air mixture and the engine runs more stably.
The choke cable should be checked regularly for wear or damage. Smooth operation of the choke cable is important to ensure that the choke mechanism functions reliably. If necessary, the choke cable should be replaced or serviced in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
