Throttle and choke cables almost NEVER fail by breaking.....unless they are severly neglected and they rust in two. Changing them routinely is overkill.

Thanks for the advice on the throttle and choke. I knew the choke was overkill (Especially since on 50 degree plus days, I haven't needed to use it much at all since the valve adjustment and carb clean...If it were to snap, would the 'default' for the enricher be off, i wonder?) and the throttles were more a case of swapping the new ones in as a preventative. I'll just put the new ones in the bottom of the tank bag on longer rides and keep lubing the old ones.

Don't know. It doesn't "feel" like there is a spring on it anywhere and the resistance seems to be in the lever mechanism at the handle.

I suspect Easy is correct. Follow the cable down to the carb. You will probably find the enrichener mechanism and possibly a way to operate it there in a pinch. Just a push/pull thing operated by the cable no doubt.

That's what I'm thinking too. Just wondering.

Got the clutch cable in yesterday afternoon and replaced it last night. It sure was good to be riding again today! I ordered all the other cables just so I'll have them if one goes down since none of them were stock at either local Suzuki dealer.
