How to Disconnect Throttle & Idle of Motorcycle

We're going to go to disconnecting the line. Basically, I'm going to get it on this here, get a good bite on it. Bend it out of the way. A lot of people take these off and then end up using worm gear clamps, which are those little screw clamps, you can use those if you don't have access to a crimper that does these. In order to keep from damaging, we want to slightly grab it, wiggle it a little bit till it breaks loose. The other important thing you want to know before you take this off, is make sure that if you have a vacuum operated petcok you want to make sure the fuel is off. So now were going to peel back, you want to be careful with these. Just roll them back to allow you access to the jam nut. The jam nuts a three eighths along with the sleeve is also a three eighths. Basically now all the slack is taken out of the cable in order for us to get the cable over the cams, the farrels over the cams. We're going to run them all in so we get as much slack at the bottom. Okay we're going to raise the bike and go to the carb now.
