Ok so I have got the replacement cable fed through - result
BUT

How do you get the old one off?
At the throttle end there is a top hat.
the cable goes into a slotted bush in the headset body
the bush moves down a bit but not enough to come out.
Do you just smack it with a hammer?

Cheers

by the way its its a 2002.

ok I was on scooterwest's u-tube and they are called cable seats in the US
cable guides in the UK


26:18 into the vid.

It looks like they fit from back, so tapping it out with should be ok.
I'm thinking sods law will probably make it disappear into the frame

from Scootering
" The throttle and both gears have plastic cable guides that fit from under the headset, be sure not to misplace them either!"

under the headset??

Thoughts?

The cable seat can be pushed out from front to back. Look under the headset and you will see the hole they go in. The seat should fall out on the floor or in your hand.

When replacing the cable, thread the cable back through the seat and through the hole. Pull hard on the cable so it can seat the outer into the cable seat.

Good luck!!

Cheers

will give it a bash when I get back from work

those crafty Italians "UNDER THE HEADSET" who would have thought it.
Well it didn't fall out , probably from the grease.

Good job I didn't smack it with a hammer!!!
It helps to line the slot to 12 o'clock.

Cheers rowdyc

"I'm thinking sods law will probably make it disappear into the frame"
impossible because the fitting hole is UNDER THE HEADSET
