choke and throttle cable removal

[lokisteelheart]

I need to figure out how to remove the throttle and choke cables from the carbs to be able to take it off so i can clean out the carbs. i cannot for the life of me figure out how to remove the cable from the carb end of the cable i thought you could push the little thing out with a screwdriver but apparently not this simple.its my daily rider i use to get to work because i dont have another vehicle available for me to use. picture responses would be greatly appreciated if you have them. Its pretty urgent. thanks guys

You need to have the carbs off & loosen the nuts on the top & bottom of cable so you can than remove them from brackets.

ou have sussed out that the nipples need rotating around to the slot in the levers right? and for the throttle you will need to do as eaglerider says...

Back the throttle cable adjusters all the way off. Then if you push the carbs out toward the left side (not necessary to have them completely out) you can loosen the top 10mm nuts on each cable and remove the throttle cables, be sure to remember which one goes where.

Then, choke cable removes by backing off its adjuster then pushing the choke slide all the way to the left so you can disengage the cable from its holder.

Beware of stuck bowl and drain screws, best way to undo them is with a hand impact tool so you don't destroy the phillips heads.

Just did my carbs this weekend along with new NGK plugs and changing oil to Rotella T6 and it turned out great!
