Default Choke Adjustment GSXR-750 '99

When i start my back cold, (and of course, have the choke 100% open), i have to hold the starter for about 10 full seconds until enough gas gets going for the bike to keep running.

Now, i have a suspicion my cables need tightening (pull/push cable).

When i'm in my top gear and i open up the choke all the way, i barely coast @ about 30 mph. My friends w/ similar bikes can coast down the freeway w/ their choke open. (this means not using throttle @ all)

Can i adjust this thing witHOUT having to yank off the gas tank (+ 17 other things) to get to the engine & adjust the bolts?
