I pull the lever back on the handle bar and it just returns to off, meaning no choke unless i sit there holding. Anyone know a fix?

My choke is a piece of wire down by my left foot peg which I have to lean down and pull out and hold... Stop complaining!

Both my streetbikes have monkeyed choke cables , no biggie just hold them on till it'll run by itself

Surely there's some sort of adjustment at the lever or at the engine end to make it stay on? All the bikes I've owned with bar-mounted chokes, the lever stayed where you left it. Mind you, none of them were Kawsakis.

Very easy to fix it!!!!!!!!

My ZZR400 same as your problem and fix it by myself

1. Inside the switch cover
2. Behind the bar-mounted choke lever
3. You will find the (little) plastic lock up by screw
very small (o-ring, spring, plastic)
this plastic just like (brake pad) stop the lever turn back
4. Replace the plastic (no spare parts buy)(must make it by yourself)

Good luck man!
