Working with my first bike and had some questions: I have an '05 GS500F in nearly new condition (under 1,000 miles). when I went to adjust the throttle cable (lever is stiff as hell!) I noticed the adjuster is broken off (lock nut is ok) with most of the threads still in the holder. Is this easily fixed? What's the best way to go about it? If I have to go the mechanic route, what can I expect to pay? Thanks, in advance for the info!
