Hey,

My just bought GSXR 400 (gk76a) has a problem with the choke cable. Basically it's stuck. Or very stiff. I can't activate it by pulling that lever on the left handlebar. The lever gives a little bit but doesn't move the choke.

The last owner showed my how to pull it out by hand so I can still run it, but its a fiddle to pull out and doesn't seem to always go back in when I push it back, leading to an inconsistent idle, sometimes high sometimes normal.

What would people recommend? Buy a new choke cable? Try and get some wd40 down it? Leave it as a feature of a 15 year old bike and just attach something to make it easier to pull out and push back in by hand?

Cheers.
