Losing my mind! (replacing the throttle cable)

[Spiffle]

Its easiest to remove the cable with the carb hanging out to the left hand side of the bike. Failing that, you need very long, very thin fingers.
Remove the battery and slide the airbox backwards to release the rear carb rubbers and then just pull the carbs back to release them from the front ones. Finally pull the carbs out the left hand side.
You are 75% there already.

Much appreciated, will give that a try once the weather permits again!
