Choke Cable Adjustment (too short?)

[poetxpress]

Hi all - Recently bought a 1998 Bandit 1200s and I'm sorting out a few things while I wait for spring. Had a warm day and so I decided to swap out a broken choke cable (seems like a common failure). Looking for the part online, it looks like the 600 and 1200 choke cables are the same. I just installed the cable I bought off of ebay and it seems too short... I only get 1/8 of movement and the choke is all the way on.

Is it the wrong cable? Is there an adjustment I'm missing somewhere (I have the adjuster nut on near lever all the way in, but it looks like the cable wants another 1/4"-1/2"). Problem is definitely the cable as I was able to choke it manually with the broken cable.

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum.....

My research on Ron Ayers parts fiche shows the choke cables to be different part numbers.  I do not believe they're the same.

Hope you get it resolved.  Good Luck.

Darn - I see you are right. Interesting that there are a few ebay listings that say they are for 600/1200.

p/n for 1200: 58410-27E11
p/n for 600 - 58410-26E00

I wonder if I can carefully trim a little of the metal tube end off with a dremel. $30 seems kinda high for a cable...
