Step 1. Loosen throttle cable (left side)

Here are four (A-D) ways to find the throttle cable. Use all of these the first time you

use these instructions to ensure that you have the correct part.

(A) Starting at the front edge of the seat, if you were to hang a string onto the left side

of the bike, it would contact the black plastic air intake duct (2 1/4 inch diameter tube)

about 11 to 13 inches down. Follow this black plastic duct or tube forward to where it

is attached to a metal tube or duct that is 3 1/2 inches long with plastic and metal parts

all over it. Everything related to the TPS adjustment is attached to this metal duct, or

a similar metal duct in the right side. For our purposes, the metal duct has a top and

bottom area, an outside and an inside area (close to the body of the bike). There is a

bracket on the inside area where two cables are vertically attached. The cable closest

to the metal duct (forward outside) is the throttle cable.

(B) Starting at the rear of the large finned metal engine cylinder that sticks out on the

left side, the throttle cable is approximately two inches to the rear of this location and

close to the engine.

the top of the metal duct, and from this point look down and between the metal duct

and the bike.

(D) There is an easily removable (and frequently lost or missing) three-sided plastic

cover with a round bottom that clips onto the top front area of the metal duct. This

plastic cover comes off by pulling it upward and toward the front of the bike. Take this

plastic cover off (no tools necessary) and the throttle cable is close to the location

where the inside of the plastic contacted the metal duct.

Now that you have located the general area of the throttle cable, by careful inspection

you will see that two cables come into the same area and mount on one metal bracket

or metal plate located on the inside area of metal duct. [On 1997 models there is one

cable only, the throttle cable. Disregard the references to other cables.] The cable that

is the furthest from the engine is the throttle cable (still forward outside). To make

certain you have the correct cable, move the throttle on the right handlebar and this

should move the throttle cable that you have identified on the left side. (You may need

another person to move the throttle on the right side of the bike while you watch the

cable on the left side.) If the left side cable does not move, you have not located the

throttle cable. Move the throttle on the handlebar and look on the left side for a moving

cable that matches the information above. Now check the cable next to the throttle

cable by moving the choke lever on the left handlebar and watch the choke cable

move; do no loosen the choke cable. There is a third cable to the rear of these two

which is the crossover synch cable; this is on its own mount and need not be loosened

or adjusted in any way.

If you are not certain you have found the throttle cable, either find another BMW rider

with an R bike and ask for help finding it, or go pester your local mechanic.

This is a tight area in which to work and so you will remove the three-sided plastic cover

with the round bottom that mounts on the gas intake area. There are two plugs on top

of the metal duct that were covered by the three-side plastic piece you have removed;
