I just wen through this with my Suzuki DT200 .. cable was totally seized. I sprayed it, hit it, sprayed it, soaked it, hit it, torched it, sprayed it, hit it some more. Finally it moved .. and after about 4 or 5 days, I was able to get it to move enough that I figured out there was no way to get the teleflex cable out of the tilt tube without taking the motor off (or cutting a relief into the splashwell wall). I was REALLY frustrated.

My neighbor has a forklift for his business. One Sunday morning we went to his warehouse and it took us about an hour and a half to remove the motor, pull the old cable out, pull the new cable in, connect everything up and put the motor back on. It wasn't nearly the PITA I thought it would be. Would have obviously been a whole other story if I didn't live next to a fellow with a forklift :)

Good Luck!
