Hi, anybody changed the gear cable yet? Mine is stuck around motor area, does anybody know if you can drop the motor easily to access to cable routing?

Motor comes out easy, 6 bolts and it drops out. Having the bike upside down helps, you can rest it in place and move all the wires out of the way when fitting it back. Torque wrench is a must and some locktight for the bolts when refitting.

want to change the gear cable on mine as it is a bit chewed up where it meets the shifter. Wondering if you did this job, if it was straightforward and, if so, any hints and tips.
