Installing idle/throttle cable's
I have done this about 4 times now it is not all that bad, however I have always pulled the tank off to do the swap. I figured this time I will ask around and see if anybody else has a better, less time and labor consuming way of doing it? This is going on an '06 RKC in case yall wanna know for some reson or another. Thanks for your help,

I did mine without taking the tank off. It was pretty easy, I used a coat hanger to snake the cables under the tank. The hardest part was hooking up the cable to the carb. Good luck.

RE: Installing idle/throttle cable's
when i changed mine i unbolted the tank lifted it up enough to see the clamps and but a wedge under it to hold it up. I tied a piece of
mono fishing line to the end of the old cable and pulled it out. i than had the mono to use as a fish to pull the new one back through. I
tied the mono to the new cable and just pulled it back through it was very easy. I also put some tape around the mono to make sure it didnt pull off.

I think this is how I am gonna do it this time. I think I will use some 14G wire instead of fishing line, its a little stiffer and might make it a little easier, or mabye harder.... We'll see. The other times I have done this I was doing other stuff to so I just completly removed the tank, plus I was bored out of my mind and it was somthing to do.
