Cables?

<< < (2/2)

mikesmith:
Ill run a little free play also,and try the new cable on a stand with the engine running by turning your bars back and forth while holding a steady idle/low RPM to make sure the cable doesnt pull tight and raise the engine speed.You dont want to find your cables hanging up and your bike runs wide open as your turning with the throttle off!

Rick:
Nope, I want the thottle to have zero freeplay.  Also, I cut a couple of coils off the slid spring to reduce a little resistance.  Since I have to hold the throttle open for long periods, every little bit helps.
