    Throttle Cable Replacement

    My '82 GS650l was knocked over by a passing car while parked on the street - luckily the only damage was a broken barrel adjuster on the throttle cable housing. The break causes the throtle cable to bind in the housing, holding the throttle wide open - needless to say the bike is unsafe and unrideable.

    I have a replacement for the cable but cannot figure out how to get access to the cable on the engine side. Is there a way to replace this cable without removing other parts to gain access - or are my fingers just too fat?

    gotta take the tank off, if you haven't already. Very tricky, but doable. Bent (or right angle) pliers and or curved forceps help a lot-
