Choke Cable Replacement - Yamaha V star 1100 Owner's Manual

NOTE
The piece of string in the next step is
used to pull the new throttle cable
through the frame so the cable will be
properly routed.
10. Tie a piece of heavy string or cord to the ends of
the throttle cable at the carburetor. Wrap this end
with tape. Do not use an excessive amount of tape.
Too much tape could interfere with the cable's pas-
sage through the frame. Tie the other end of the
string to the frame.
11. Starting at the handlebar, carefully pull the
throttle cable along the frame and through the fork
legs. Make sure the attached string follows the same
path as the throttle cable through the frame.
12. Untie the string from the old cable and tie it to
the carburetor ends of the new cable.
13. Carefully pull the string back through the
frame, routing the new cable through the same path
as the old.
14. Remove the string and lubricate the ends of the
new cable with lithium soap grease.
15. Connect the return cable end to the carburetor
wheel. Fit the cable into the bracket and secure it in
place with the locknut (B, Figure 83).
16. Connect the pull cable to the carburetor throttle
wheel and secure it to the bracket with its locknut
(A, Figure 83).
17. At the handlebar, lubricate the ends of the new
cable with lithium soap grease. Connect the cable
ends (A, Figure 85) to the throttle grip. Make sure
the cables rests in the grooves of the throttle drum.
18. Reinstall the halves of the right handlebar
switch assembly. Make sure the index pin (B, Fig-
ure 85) on the switch assembly aligns with the hole
in the handlebar. Secure the switch with the screws
(Figure 84).
19. Operate the throttle grip. Make sure the throttle
linkage operates correctly without binding. If nec-
essary, make sure the cable is correctly attached and
there are no tight bends in the cable.
20. Adjust throttle cable free play as described in
Chapter Three.
21. Reinstall the surge tank, air filter housing and
the fuel tank as described in this chapter.
22. Start the engine. Turn the handlebar from side
to side without operating the throttle. If the engine
speed increases as the handlebar is turned, the throt-
tle cable is routed incorrectly. Recheck the cable
routing.
