How to replace throttle cable 99 sea doo XP limited

[Brindley22]

I was wondering what is the easiest way to replace the throttle cable on my 99 sea doo XP limited

Take it out from the inside pulling it out of the handlebar area. Make sure to tie something to the old one to use as a pull string for the new one.

Once you install the new one you will have to adjust the TPS and the oil pump per the manual.

Will I have to remove the exhaust

Not at all. It does help to get the airbox off and the oil tank. But the oil tank has to come out to get the airbox off so you are already 50% there at that point.

I'm just trying to figure out what's gonna be the easiest and best way to do this I've never replaced a throttle cable on a sea doo any input on how to remove and adjust is greatly appreciated !! Thanks again

Exactly as I said above.
Use the free online manual.
Align the marks on the oil pump.
Set slack at closed throttle.
To check the TPS once everything is back together find the plug where it connects to the cable. Locate the white wire with black stripe slide a paper clip along the wire into the plug. Attach a multi meter set to volts DC to clip and ground. Push start button without lanyard to power up system and meter needs to read 5 Volts. At 80% throttle it has to drop to 0 volts. Adjust adjuster up near handlebars to get within spec.
Double check oil pump and throttle closing all the way.

Good to go.

I can not get the air box out

On mine I removed the two intake funnels. Then unbolted the top air box clip bracket from the pipe. It comes out the front so you have to move the oil tank out of the way. Just when you think it will never come out it will slide right out like butter.

I can't get the air box out and it looks like I'll have to remove the water jacket to get to oil pump cable on and info

What water jacket?

Can you post some pics? The ones I have done are not easy but not bad either.
