Hi all, I have done most all of the work on all my bikes over the years. However, I have zero experience in running cables. I have snapped the throttle cable and replacing one seems simple enough based on my research but because of the auto-lube system, I am a bit more cautious to do this work myself as i don't want to mess it up worse. A few questions, does anyone know the stock length of the cord? Is it easier to order a new cable / throttle assemble? Will this hook up w/the auto-lube connection? I have photos but cannot upload - any help / direction would be hugely appreciated. thanks -Rhineman

You just have to replace the upper cable. It joins the lower throttle cable and oil pump cable in a plastic cylinder under the tank. They are connected inside the cylinder by a connecting piece that looks like a piston.
The lower end of the upper cable is essentially the cylinder head of the connecting cylinder and is made of plastic. Just a snap fit on the cylinder.

Unhook the oil pump cable from its pulley, take out the carb slide and unhook the lower cable from that. You will then have enough free length in the cables to pull the "piston" from the cylinder.
Hook your new cable on the piston, stuff it back into the cylinder and hook up the oil pump and slide again.
Snap your new cable onto the cylinder and hook up onto the throttle tube.
Set the correct free play with the upper adjuster.

Provided you have not messed with the oil pump cable adjuster, or carb top adjuster, you have no need to worry about those ( although good practice says you should double check them).

Tinkicker - thank you!

All of what Tinkicker says  UNLESS it has already been replaced with an aftermarket item, in which case it might not be possible to remove the cables from the connecting tube. Dismantle it first in order to determine the next stage.

On some, but not all, of the RD replacement throttle cables, it isn't possible to remove the cables from the tube.
