Right faffy job

[Mad Hatter]

This afternoon‘s job was to strip the GS down ready to replace all the control cables. Probably one of the most fiddly jobs to do excluding a full engine/gearbox rebuild. Now waiting on Motorworks delivering the new cables. Bike looks like an explosion at the spaghetti factory

The trick/skill is remembering how to put it all back, afterwards…

Wow, good luck

Me too, that’s why I pulled the whole lot out. It’s not too difficult having previously deleted the ABS module

Yes, the fast idle cable goes into the junction box. It looks complicated because you have to move a lot of stuff out of the way to get to it (I’d hate to have to replace the cables on a bike that still had the ABS unit fitted) but if you are methodical it’s easy enough to do. Mine is all back together now.
