Need a Choke Lever

Post by jcslocum »

Quik update on my Paso repair. New battery in the bike and a spark plug cleaning and she fired right up. Idle was way too high so I started to dig into that. The choke was hung up and after prying and pulling I discovered the choke cable elbow on the lever is broken?? Anyone have this part laying around??

I bought it for few Euros at my nearest Ducati dealer.
You'd find it easily because it has been fitted on many Ducati.

That little elbow part has broken off. It's the thing sticking out on the left side with the groove in it.

Sorry, Jon, but my only spare is busted, also. There is a possibility you can adapt one from an early ST2, since they use the same master cylinder.....Actually, I just ran downstairs, and you may be able to adapt the choke lever from an ST2/ST4 up to 2002. I have 2002 master cylinders on my one '98 ST2, and the choke lever bolted right to the 2002 master cylinder. It will look different, as it only has the upper lever for your thumb and is missing the lower one.

You can barely see it in this picture.
