idle cable at carb end
 

My sv650S k1 idles at 1100 rpm and my idle adjuster knob has seized so if i follow the cable into the engine where will it go and can i loosen it there. I assume i must remove the fairings and air filter box?

get the carbs off and you'll get into it easier-soon be freed off.

Hey Husky, i am not that familiar with taking carbs off so can i get to it without, if so will it loosen up?

get a haynes manual its pretty straight forward, failing that soak it in some penetrating fluid and see how you go, but you'll find as long as the carbs are on the bike your restricted in access.

I've got the manual but was hoping to not have too, though i may now if i have no joy. Annoyed that it has seized. Tried from the knob end with WD40 but too no avail. If i do will any settings be altered?

might need to leave it overnight soaking then try

Would i try from the knob end with WD40, if so would it squirt up the rubber outer pipe containing the cable?

Re: idle cable at carb end
 

no squirt it on the spring that will be at the other end on the cable

I'll try and take airfilter off when i get i get 5 mins away from kids and have a look.
