I need to replace the throttle cable on my XJ-700S.

Can anyone tell me the steps to follow?

Thanks!!

Buy a new one, and replace the old one making sure to rout the new one exactly where the old one was. When you are done start eh bike and move the handle bars to each side to make sure the cable isn't binding. It would help to remove the gas tank and maybe the seat in order to rout the cable easier.

I replaced my clutch cable in the parking lot at school last week, it took about 10 minutes.
