79 r65 choke assembly 'nut'.

I never had a problem locating the choke lever when mine was down there.

Thanks to some spare parts, I converted mine to a handlebar mounted lever many years ago.

With my rebuild, I am eliminating the choke cables all together.
Instead, I will use a couple of stiff wires with small loops in the ends.  The straight ends fasten in the choke cable clamps, and the wires stick up through the old adjusters.

Pull them up to start, push down as it warms up.  I've been told a properly tuned engine will only need one side "choked" to start!

I can confirm the wire choke works well. One side and you're good to go. Buddy at work has this system on his R100S. He has small rubber grommets placed where the cable adjusters used to live and neat circular bends at the top ends. I'll snap a photo tomorrow and post it.   Monte

A fellow on Boxerworks sent me a couple of wires made to go....a year or so ago....now I'm not sure where they are!

Here's the Denton ISD Team Motorrad- 1978 R100S and 1981 R65. There's also my 1983 R65 and a K-bike Flying Brick but the owner prefers riding his Vespa.



The R100S has small wire choke pulls, possibly Boxerworks, as the current owner bought the bike from the previous restorer.


Closed (choke off) position...




Choke On position (partially, to show wire anchor).  Small rubber grommets in nicely formed wire circular shapes make for easy grabs. Note the bolt and nut on the enrichener lever... It must secure the end of the hard wire yet pivot on the lever.
