Default Question about choke cable

Newbie here with a question. I've always needed to fully open up the choke to get the bike started (a '97 GSXR 750). Well, it seems like the choke cable is stuck. I can only get the choke maybe half-way open and it apparently isn't enough 'cause I can't start the bike. How difficult is it for me to adjust the choke cable? Is it something I can do or am I gonna have to take it into the shop? Thanks, any help is appreciated.

Sounds like you need to replace that choke cable. They get rusty inside and bind up.
