Proper routing for the throttle cable - help!Proper routing for the throttle cable - help!Hi everyone,
I purchased a throttle cable that was for shorter handlebars than I have. So I'm trying to make the most efficient route for the cable so the bike doesn't rev over 6000 rpm's every time I turn to the right! What is the correct / most efficient routing for the cable? The new one is only a bit shorter, so I think I can make it work. But I've tried different routings, and the last one is worse yet! Help, anyone! GG
OK, just found your other post. Throttle cable routes, with the metal elbow kicked slightly forward, between (above) the r/h headlight ear and the bucket, over the tank's front support then, depending on the remaining length of the tails from the splitter, down along the r/h/s of the frame (splitter falls naturally to the right and beneath the frame top-tube). Leave the elbow locknut, at the throttle grip housing, loose and move the handlebar h/o to h/o and see where the most compromising exit angle is; you want it to take a natural route when more or less dead-ahead. Throttle routingThanks E3steve! I'll give it a try. I appreciate the help,
GG Throttle routingHi Jleewebb,
Excelent pics! I don't have mine routed that way, definitely. So I will probably gain enough to make it work well. It's good the seat and tank come off so easily on these bikes! Thanks for the good fotos! GG
