That's what I've heard. I bought a smorgasbord of different size hex screws to replace them with.

 

This procedure was for Brien who has a Gen2 KLX250 with throttle cables of the proper length such as mine.

Hows the bionic leg healing?

 

Just did this today on my 09 sf, the carb tilt method worked pretty well for me. Still need to fine tune the air/fuel mix (rich rich rich).

 

Well damn. I tried. Perhaps the tilt method of taking off the throttle cable bracket is the way

 

I think some of you guys are making way to much of this......
It's really not that big deal and I bet no two people remove the carb the same way.
I have some shortcuts I used that worked for me but may not for the next guy.

Try replacing the 3 throttle cables on a GL1800 Goldwing.........then we'd really have something to talk about.
I think it's easier to remove the engine.

 

So tonight after work I decided to start the teardown. Other then trying to get the carb out, everything went pretty smooth. But that carb was a bitch! I really struggled with getting the throttle bracket free.

I tried what others suggested and unscrewed the bracket. But I tried to keep the cables secured in the bracket and remove the loose bracket from the carb. But I couldn't seem to get the right angle to pull it free. So I ended up loosening the two throttle cable nuts. After they were out of the bracket I got the carb out. All the while I'm thinking "how in the hell am I going to get this back in." I'll cross that bridge tomorrow after I rejet.

 

Been there, done that. You'll get it. Patience, deep breaths. It gets easier with practice.

 

Shoehorn and KY!

 

I just installed my dynojet kit and big gun this week. It is tricky but patience is the key. It was well worth the effort and it builds confidence for future projects.

 

Rejet done! It's now time to get it back in the bike. The clock starts now!
