I feel stoopid. I can’t figure out how to remove the stepper cable from the step motor. There is a connection on the left side frame near the seat and gas tank. I can separate the housings there, but I don’t see how to detach the stepper cable wire from the ribbon cable coming out of the motor/module. How the heck do I get to the barrel to get it loose from the motor?
The rest of the story: the “cruise engaged” indicator light (green) goes off as it should when I tap either brake, but the throttle doesn’t retract. To close the throttle I have to force the twist grip down. I can see that the cable is fraying right where it exits the sheath. My plan is to snip the eyelet from that end of the wire, then extract the wire from the sheath by pulling it out from the other end, get a suitable wire from the bicycle shop, insert into the sheath and reattach the eyelet. The stepper cable (56372-97) is way obsolete. I was able to buy on the eBay a module/motor complete with stepper cable attached. It hasn’t arrived yet. But I would still rather repair original as described above.
So, can anyone explain how to separate the stepper cable from the module? I must be missing something simple?
Thanks.
