DOYLEY Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 Hi All, I'm looking to get hold of a replacement choke cable for my TR5. - Part number 214888 Before I dive in, any idea's who I should go to? Revington TR have them listed on the their site for an eye watering £105. Thanks Regards Doyley Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aldpilot Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 All outlets have similar prices. At best you could save a tenner by shopping around. I replaced mine a year ago and the darn thing has a tendency to jam. It seems the dual cable is the reason for the price, but Roger recommends using your old one to make up yourself from cables purchased from a bike shop. Most people just fit a single cable from the MU and kick in a bit of throttle to get it started. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DOYLEY Posted July 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 Thanks Guys, Managed to repair my old one. The choke was sticking at the dashboard end, got some WD40 between the sleeve and cable, moving quite freely now. Regards Doyley Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Moltu Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 Playing devil's advocate you don't really need the fast idle element, the cable that operates the enrichment lever is enough and your right foot will take care of the rest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DOYLEY Posted July 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 Thanks Andy, that’s seems to be the advice -generally Regards Doyley Quote Link to post Share on other sites
