On throttle cable if i remember right you will see in the efi where you attached the cable there is a tab that moves up (i think) as you twist the throttle it will eventually hit a stop you adjust the throttle cable until it just touches the stop with the throttle fully twisted. then the idle cable is tightened until the spring it sets in seats in the notch that holds it in place. Sorry I don't know all the technical names for these parts. easy adjustment, take your time and you'll get it. i just finished a bunch of mods that I figured to be way over my head, but with time and patients got everything done and every time I ride my scoot the feeling of pride is much greater than before knowing that everything that has been done to the bike I did personally.

There are some good threads in the tech section on bleeding the brake. Gives you two methods of doing it.
