How do you... (Read 110 times)

rl153 Serious Thumper Offline S40 Just right! Posts: 907 Bloomfield,CT Gender:	How do you... 09/26/13 at 11:53:05 How do you get the slack out of the throttle cable? It seems my throttle will turn around a 1/4 " before catching. Is there an adjuster under the black rubber boot and how do you do it? Thanks!

Make sure you take a measurement. "Seems" and "reality" can get blurred easily. Max adjustment of 0.16" is 1/6 of an inch, and that can feel like a lot.

If you do adjust it, start your engine when you're done. WITHOUT holding the throttle, turn your handlebars back and forth the whole way slowly. hear for any change in your idle speed. If you adjust it too tight, it will find a place to pull, and your bike will give itself some gas.

I guess that means I'm no good anymore; I've got 4 more cylinders! '08 Yamaha FJR1300 and still '01 Savage

I guess there is an adjuster under the rubber boot on the throttle cable . How do you pull the boot back without destroying it ,to adjust the cable? Thanks!

Best way,.. is to buy a bike less than 3 years old... Grin

...

Old, dried out, rubber loses it's elasticity... no gettin' around it...
This is why,... you should replace tires at 5 years, regardless of how much tread is left...

Ludicrous Speed !... ... Huh
