Hello camoweasel,

There are 2 coming from the throttle assembly (push-pull), and then there is the front brake cable.

Hope that helps!

Bill

is there a way to adjust the push one so that the throttle snaps back into position because mine isnt doing it properly. I have to manually turn it back. The service manual only says to adjust the one with the set screw.

before doing any adjustment, you may want to clean and relube the cable housing first. then (if you so choose) remove the fuel tank and airbox to uncover the carb set. clean off the springs that the throttle cable is attached to and anything else that might be dirty. then check your throttle movement to see if it gets hungup anywhere. after that, you can start making your adjustments. if you are manually shutting down your throttle, you may have too much slack to adjust out. most of that needs to be taken out at the carb end of the cable. the barrel adjustment is mostly for fine tuning.
