Dont touch that "air valve stem" !!! Its not an air valve stem. Its where the nitrogen is added to the shock. If you push the little thingy "in" you will release 150-200 psi of nitrogen that is needed for the shock to work properly. Dont play with the adjustment until you know what they do. Give me a few hours.

Figured out why my bike was such a pain to start. I stripped it down to the carbs to have a looksie inside and check the condition and noticed that the choke cable has about an inch of excess cable in the full up position. The slider doesn't actually move the choke assembly until almost full down. The choke only opens moved about an 8th to a 4th of an inch, but with my finger I can get it to move the full travel.
How hard is it to replace a choke cable on a bike? I've done it on a car many years ago and I'm assuming it's easier on a bike since it's not running through a firewall.
Regardless, I'm a happy dude cuz this is progress.

The choke cable should be pretty easy to replace. The hardest part besides getting it out of the handle bar housing would be actually getting to it. Before you change it, look how its attached to the carbs, you might be able to take some of "slack" out of it & it might be just enough to allow it to start a whole lot easier.
