I took apart my 2000 VTR the other day to only find out that both of the plastic screws that fit for the choke cable ended up breaking and exposing the adjusting springs. I couldn't find any choke cables on eBay and the Choke cable from Honda is fairly more expensive than I imagined. Wasn't sure if there was anyone who may have a choke cable laying around that needs to get rid of it and is at least in better shape than the one I currently have.

 

Somewhat common issue. Contact Jack Flash for brass replacements.
