Choke

Choke cables are mechanical components attached to the carburettor that operate the choke, which is used to start the engine at low temperatures.

They can be made of different materials such as steel or plastic and must have a good fit and function smoothly.

When operating the choke, the rider pulls the choke cable to reduce the airflow in the carburettor, optimising the air-fuel mixture required to start the engine at low temperatures.

It is important to consider compatibility with the motorbike and carburettor when selecting choke cables to ensure optimum fit and function. The choke cable should also be checked regularly for wear and damage to ensure smooth engine operation.
