yep..it isn't that bad really..the upper section joins up with the 2 lower sections behind the neck cover if i recall correctly. split the housing on the handle bars..remove the cable then follow it down to the joint and unhook it there..install new one in reverse order..

Until you get a new one you can operate the choke by pushing the slide on the left side forward with a screwdriver. I had to do this on mine last winter. cable is easy to change.

If it the Honda OEM replacement no lube is necessary. The OE cables are nylon core.
