1983 Honda CB1000C · Throttle & Choke Buying guide
The CB1000C uses separate opening, closing and choke cables. Identify the damaged cable and check routing, adjusters, the throttle sleeve and the carburetor linkage before ordering. Replacing every cable is not a substitute for finding the cause of binding.

The pull cable is listed as 47 inches overall and references 17910-425-020, -030 and -405. The closing cable references 17920-425-030; the CB1000C choke cable references 17950-MG1-000. Changed handlebars can alter the routing requirement, so compare end fittings and available travel as well as overall length.
The nylon sleeve is a bare replacement for 53141-300-010. A rough handlebar surface, damaged housing or incorrect cable routing can still prevent a new sleeve from moving freely. After assembly, adjust the cables to the CB1000C procedure and test operation before starting the engine.
Check whether steering movement pulls a cable tight or changes a bend, especially after handlebar changes. Correct routing and adjustment before riding. Honda requires smooth opening and automatic closing throughout the steering range; free movement with the bars centered alone is not sufficient.
Check the linkage at the carburetors rather than relying only on handlebar-lever travel. Honda’s CB1000C procedure checks for fully open choke valves and cable free play between the carburetor lever and casing in that position. Adjust the casing and clamp by the manual if full travel is missing.
