No, get your mind out of the gutter [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] I'm talking about the choke cable on the TM45 I just installed. Its dangling down and I don't see any place to attach it and it didn't come with any kind of bracket. So what do I do? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

i took mine off and just replaced it with the short direct mount choke pull--theres one on ebay now

 

I've seen some but it doesn't specifically say for a Mikuni TM45. The auctions are for use on a LTZ400, Z400, LTZ 400 LT suzuki kfx400....

 

i just went to the yamaha shop and asked for the direct pull choke took the old one off and the new one went right in--the little brass choke that works in and out was all the same size

 

Dangling down !!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] too funny

the TM I got from BigDaddy had a little bracket right behind to the choke ****. I needed to drill a hole in the frame to mount/bolt it just under the seat. tonight I can take a pic of it and send it to you to show you if you like.
you may need to fab a bracket if you didnt get one w/ it. you want it mounted solid and you don't want it breaking off hear its a bitch to fix.

If you let it dangle everyone wants to look at it - I say keep it dangling.

 

LOL.... yea except it may rub against something hot..... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] like the exhaust.....

 

Not if its on the left side.

Fun aside, the choke cable should be mounted to the flat part of the upper frame. There should be flat metal mount that should allow that. The idle cable - keep that dangleing.

 

I thought about the gusseted part of the upper frame as well. I thought about just drilling a hole but the choke cable has a permanently attached hex on the end where the **** is and the other end has the adjustable nut. If I drill a hole large enough to insert the permanent hex nut then the cable will not tighten when using the adjustable nut to lock it in.
