Hey,
New to the site and this is my first post. I had the same problem too. I think that's why I got my 2000 Kat for $2000. The guy I bought it from thought it needed carb work, when in fact the choke was stuck because the cable wasn't moving. Got it home, removed the cable and freed it up with PB Blaster. It's a penetrating lub. If you guys don't have it around in your garage, you should. I've wrench professionally for many years and strickly use it on old bolts and anything else that needs to be lubed. Best stuff I've ever seen. Cables great and my 750 starts and runs like new.

lube or fix it before the Choke lever snaps off like mine did ! fortunately I found a used lever !

Here's a REALLY INEXPENSIVE way to help prevent a lot (but not all) of the problem: BUY part #21 here:

It'll be the best $5.25 you ever spent!

Q: How does a clutch lever rubber cover help the choke cable keep working?

Hmmm....guess somebody (two of ya' actually!) GOT me! OOPS! In my old age state of mind, and in my overzealusness to try and help, I applied the wrong part and a good idea to the wrong problem!

OOPS!
