Replacing my bent SM2 bars with the stock bars and a new throttle grip tomorrow, and I noticed two small-diameter cables leading from the throttle grip. I assume these must be electrical rather than mechanical, and indicate which position the throttle is in. But the Clymer manual is a bit unclear on how these should be reattached. Can someone clarify how these two cables are connected? One of the two happens to be loose, and I don't see any tightening mechanism. I'm not sure that one is making any sort of connection.
Any general tips for making handlebar replacement less difficult? How worried do I have to be about air getting into the brake lines, or brake fluid spilling, if I keep the master cylinder upright and sitting on the front fender?
I've read these - other links welcome.
