throttle cables/grip change

[Roscoe]

Dam it I am on to my second rum and coke reading this forum to find I now got no idea how to get that cable back in....... I suppose taking morphine as well with the rum for pain doesn't help...... should have got that second pair of hands from the second hand shop!

I will keep trying after I finish this rum..... might relax me enough to get it done without burning the bike! Only been trying for an hour!!

Ok after too many rums, got a mate over and we figured it out...... to get those cables back on, ya have one person wearing a glove so as not to hurt finger tips and rotate the throttle control down at the throttle bodies so the pull cable pops out the top at the grip, ya mate has to hold it rotated while you stuff around with a blade screwdriver and get the angle of the grip just right so the cable pops on, took us about 10 minutes to get it but yes the cables can be put back on the throttle without adjusting the throttle body end.
