Matts Yokes 998cc Comfort Kit fitment
 
I have stripped all my bike down to fit the comfort kit tomorrow, but I have a question. How do I go about fitting the throttle cables? Do I need to remove the air box totally. There is noway I could get my hands in the gap. It looks a bit of a mare to be honest, so any advice appreciated! :confused::confused::confused::confused:

the only way i managed to remove the throttle cables from the throttle body's was to lift the tank and take the air box out (very simple to take out, no so to get back in) then you have full access to where the cables connect

I done mine with it all left in place but tank raised, it was fiddly but a pair of long nose pliers are your friend.
Another tip, fit the controls to the bars before fitting them to the risers as they wont reach enough otherwise.

I really don't see any alternative to removing the air box. The gap is tiny???

Another point - I really think the kit needs some instructions. It isn't supplied with any at all.

Youre not the first person to say that ;)

if you have a Haynes manual just follow the "instructions" for the naked sv

Well tomorrow's D-day so I am going to try anyway. Even if it means I will be on here at tea time crying my eyes out!

I honestly think looking at the bike that the standard throttle cables would be fine. I might just see tomorrow!
