A cool part that bolts together with the right-side tank\u2026
\nIt’s for threading the throttle cable through.
\nUnfortunately, the throttle KIT cable we’re swapping in won’t fit through it\u2026
\nWaste not, want not\u2014that’s the Japanese way.
 
\n
 
We’ll carve a groove thinner than the cable’s outer diameter and reuse it.
\nSpread it open, snap it in, and it holds tension nicely.
 
\n
 
Is this a cultural difference?
\nThe cable won’t fit, so we cut off the ferrule
\nand remove the adjustment section, then insert it into the carb side.
 
\n
 
We machine a new ferrule from brass. It’s tedious work\u2026
 
\n
 
Perfect! \u2605 Since it’s a custom part, we’ll have to machine it again when we replace it\u2026

This one’s wearing pretty strangely, so it definitely needs replacing!
\nIt kind of reminds me of the SRX part\u2026 what do you think?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
