XIKOBY Choke Cable for Rancher 350 TRX350 TRX350FM TRX350TM

XIKOBY Choke Cable is a direct-fit replacement for TRX350/TRX450/TRX400 carburetor choke systems on Rancher and Foreman models from the late 1980s through 2006.

This replacement choke cable kit supplies the core components needed to restore reliable cold-start control on compatible Honda four-wheelers. Built with durable materials and supplied with mounting hardware, the cable is designed to match factory routing and connections so installation is straightforward for a home mechanic or service shop. It lowers the chance of sticking, fraying, and poor choke engagement that can cause difficult starts or inconsistent idle.

Which models and years will this choke cable fit?

The XIKOBY choke cable covers a wide range of Honda ATVs including Rancher, Fourtrax and Foreman families. Fitment spans TRX350 models from the mid‑1980s through 2006 and extends to several TRX400 and TRX450 Foreman variations listed by year.

• TRX350ES / TRX350FE / TRX350FM / TRX350TE / TRX350TM Rancher 350 (2000–2006)
• TRX350 Fourtrax (1986–1987) and (1993–2000)

• TRX400FW Foreman (1997–2004) and ATC250SX (1985–1987)

What parts are included, and what does each do?

The kit contains the choke cable plus a starter valve plunger kit and plastic fender clips to secure routing. The elbow and end fittings replicate factory connections so the choke lever or knob operates the carburetor choke butterfly or plunger correctly.

• 1x choke cable — primary control link between dash/lever and carburetor choke
• 1x starter valve plunger kit — replaces worn plunger for consistent enrichment
• 15x plastic fender clips/body rivets — secure cable along frame and prevent rubbing
• Metal elbow — reproduces OEM angle to reduce kinks and wear

How easy is installation and what tools are typically required?

Installation is designed to be plug‑and‑play for users familiar with basic ATV maintenance. Routing follows the stock path; clamps and clips hold the cable in place so it won’t chafe. Typical installation time is under an hour for someone comfortable with simple mechanical tasks.

• Basic hand tools: pliers, screwdrivers, adjustable wrench
• Trim or drill tool may be helpful for attaching supplied body rivets
• Follow existing cable path and replace clips one by one to maintain correct routing
• No special machining or modifications required for compatible models

Will this cable match OEM part numbers and quality?

The XIKOBY assembly is made to match OEM geometry and is offered as a direct replacement for commonly referenced part numbers. Materials are selected for longevity to resist fraying and corrosion in riding environments where vibration and weather exposure are common.

• Compatible with OEM part numbers such as 17950-HN5-671 and 16046-HM5-730
• Metal elbow and robust outer sheath for abrasion resistance
• Includes spare plastic clips to restore factory routing integrity

Who is this for: The XIKOBY choke cable kit is a practical choice for owners and technicians servicing Honda TRX350, TRX400, and TRX450 ATVs who need an OEM‑style replacement without a dealer delay. It suits riders restoring older machines, repairing cables damaged by heat or impact, or upgrading a failing choke assembly to regain predictable cold starts and stable idle performance.
