As I mentioned elsewhere, I acquired my bike from a friend so I have no clue as to how it was constructed / haven't seen all the bits taken apart (yet!).

How do i remove the throttle from the handlebars?



Do i just loosen those two screws and pull? it didn't come right off, and I didn't want to break it trying.

Thanks,

Yes, there should be a hole drilled in your handlebar with a tab on the throttle housing that goes in the hole to keep your throttle from sliding off. You may have to loosen the screws enough to get the tab out of the handlebar hole before you can slide the throttle off.
