For some reason, my first try sending this via the web interface, my
message never made it to the list.
Anyway, I'm assuming he broke the cable and that the plunger & spring
in the carb are intact.
If so, cut the insulation from the cable. Then, cut the cable,
leaving about a foot of it going into the carb. Tie a finger loop in
the end of the cable. Manually pull and hold choke and start the
bike. Keep it held until the bike warms up a bit.

O great gurus of all things KLR fuel systems, friend Jacob of
highlands has broken his choke and needs advice & perhaps a bit of
magic to help him start the KLR without a choke until he can receive
parts from the hinterlands.
I'll pass along all your good advice.

calling fred hink: nklr
Fred,
My girlfriend just bought her 1st bike: A new/leftover 2009 Suzuki GS500F .
She adores the bike but wishes it didn't have the front fairing.
The plastic unbolts easily to leave the bike looking like the E model - minus a headlight.
Suzuki wants $$$ for a simple 7 inch round headlight assembly.
Do you know where I could get one like came on the GS500E/SV650 only more reasonably?
I checked eBay and keep coming up with slick- looking Chinese made parts that turn out to take a 25W headlight and
warn they'll melt with anything bigger, etc...
Thanks in advance!
