    A bit of good luck.....

    I headed out the door all geared up to ride the 1100 to work Monday...pulled on the clutch lever and the cable snapped...good luck because I was at home in the driveway.

    Can this cable be replaced without tank removal? Its full

      I think it will be very difficult to attach the cable end to the choke rail without removing the tank - plus the cable is routed along the frame under the tank middle.

      With almost 6 gallons of fuel, that full tank weighs around 35-40#. Not too bad a job to remove - easier than trying to work under it I think...

      Good luck

        I removed my tank today to adjust my valves...the tank was full of gas.

            You're a Marine, you're big and strong, remove the tank.
            I do it all the time, and the Marines wouldn't even take me.

                Mine broke 4 blocks from the cycle shop. Interesting stopping for the red light that caught me. Had to change it in their parking lot.
