Starter Plunger Cable Problems

[Canuck]

Hey All,

I was curious if anyone has had a problem with the starter plunger system. My problem is when i first start the bike up and turn the choke on i let it run for about 2-3 mins before bringing it down to a lower setting, however instead of getting lower rpms it seems to stay as if the plunger (connected to the spring that goes into the Carburator) is sticking or doesn't want to come back and allow my bike to sit calmly in neutral.
It seems to work itself out after a short ride, but of course fixing the problem is better than letting it go.It also rises when i pull the clutch lever in past the point of gear change-over.

My only thought is after 34000 kilometres maybe the cable is seized? or sumthing along those lines.

Thanks for the input guys
