No issues. I've taken the throttle housing apart to lube the cable several
times. I've never disconnected the battery first (didn't know I was
supposed to - ignorance is bliss!). Never had problems with the bike
afterwards. Just take it apart slowly so you can see how it fits back
together. Also one of the screws is longer than the other IIRC. And you
may have to loosen and move the brake fluid resevoir bracket to get at one
of the screws for the throttle housing.

My throttle feels just a little dry when I try small, throttle openings
immediately off idle. I was about to take the usual parts off, lube the
cables, and white lube throttle grip housing when I noticed that the manual
says to disconnect the negative lead from the battery before adjusting
slack out of the throttle cable??????
So then I am thinking "I don't know diddly about injection systems,
tune-boys, etc" and I decide I better check with the folks on the board
first.
Any tricks, caveats, etc. when removing and lubing throttle cable and
assembly?????
Thanks
Lou
