    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Removing push-pull throttle cable

Doh!

OK, here is another dumb question:

How do I remove this push-pull cable so I can remove my carbs? It's a little hard to work on the carbs with them still attached to the bike!

Many thanks (again)

crack off the bottom nuts and unscrew fully. then lift the cables out and unhook the cable nipples
 
Do the front one first as he says. Loosen the nuts on the second cable. Then open the throttle with the twistgrip, block the throttle mechanism open between the carbs with one hand or perhaps a block of wood and release the grip. You can get the second cable adjuster out of it's slot, and then the end of the cable out of the little throttle wheel easily now.

Also you may find it easier to remove the cables when the carb rack is already partway off the engine, off to the side where you can reach the cable ends better.

Hi, which one is the "front"? Is in the cable on the left in my photo?

Thanks,

I said it wrong, do the rear one first. Do the one that pulls the throttle open last.

If i remember right the one of the left opens the throttle (pulls?) and the other one closes it (pushes). Sorry to be so clueless but which should I remove first?
