Got a problem with the choke on my sr 125 in that it won't stay out. Is there a repair kit that can be bought? or is there an easy way to sort it. Cheers

if the STARTER SET .as yamaha call it. or if the black choke knob has a split pin thro it you may be able to replace the little spring clip that is at fault.

Hi,

not the bit needed underside of that is a rubber gromet with a metal clip in it the brass tube that the knob you showed fits to has some groves for the metal clip that I describe to hold the choke in the position (as required)on/off or 2 position. I can supply pics of the on/off FS1 set up but not a 2 position SR peice but the only difference will be an extra groove for the clip to ajoin to. I still cannot remember if SR125 was sold as a unit (putting my bet on that) or if you could get each part then the spring clip will be the only peice required.

Regards Jim

My wee plastic bit on the choke plunger has snapped off now aswell, so i have ordered a new one. (whole starter set that is) The part no. is 5H0-1410A-00-00 and the rrp of it is £23 ish if its of use to anyone

I had the same problem as everyone else and I tried in vain to find a replacement clip (or even a replacement whole unit) in 2026. In the end, I got inventive and found that a sliver of yoghurt pot plastic (Lidl Greek style, 1ltr :-0 ), slid through the middle of the brass section to press against the central stem, provides the perfect balance of rigidity and spring to hold the choke lever in position. Heath Robinson, yes, but invisible and I have a working choke until something turns up!

Just sayin', in case anyone else is having the same issue, all these years later ;-)
