Remove the carburetor top screws
and extract the slides and needles.

Pull the return springs back and
carefully remove the metering
needles. Note the position of the clip on
the needle in case it gets displaced and
you have to reset it. Free the cable ends
from the slides and remove the cables
from the carburetor tops.

HOW-TO


9


Inspect your work. Both tops should
look like this.

7


Trim the excess off with a razor
blade, flush with the top of the
carburetor. Repeat this step with the
other carburetor top.


6


Take the supplied length of silicone
tubing and screw it into the
carburetor top as far as possible (usually
about 1/4 inch).

5


Unscrew the cable adjusters from
the carburetor tops; they won’t be
needed.

4


Once the carburetor ends of the
throttle cable are free, disconnect
the existing cable from the twist grip.


8


With a pair of needle nose pliers,
grasp the new slide cable close to
the slide ferrule and push it through the
silicone tubing. Repeat for the second
carburetor.

1


Start by removing the seat then the
tank for easy access to the throttle
cable and carburetors. Next remove the
balance tube between the carburetors.
