| When installing the throttle/idle cable, the adjuster screws are turned all the way in to minimize the length of the sheath, in order to expose as much cable as possible, to make it easier to assemble the cable to the throttle tube & to the carb throttle cam. Each cable has a ball end (used at the throttle tube) and a barrel end (that is used at the throttle cam). | When installing the throttle/idle cable, the adjuster screws are turned all the way in to minimize the length of the sheath, in order to expose as much cable as possible, to make it easier to assemble the cable to the throttle tube & to the carb throttle cam.

| - | The ball end of the cable is passed up through the lower switch housing. If you have the screw-in type cable, it would now be screwed into the lower switch housing. Then, the installable barrel is placed over the ball end. This creates a barrel end out of the ball end. The barrel is now slid into the appropriate notch on the throttle tube with the slot in the installable barrel to be inserted into the notch first. This will keep the cable from sliding out of the installable barrel. The throttle cable is located on the outward side (away from rider) of the switch housing and the idle cable is located on the inward side (nearest rider). Install both cables in like fashion. | + | The ball end of the cable is passed up through the lower switch housing.

| - | Be sure both cable adjusters are fully minimized. Set the front wheel straight ahead. Turn the throttle grip to fully open (WOT) and hold it there (using the throttle lock star wheel). Turn the adjuster on the throttle cable, extending the outer sheath so that the throttle cam (pulled by the inner cable) is just touching the carb throttle stop. Lock the adjuster in place and release the throttle lock at the grip. | + | Be sure both cable adjusters are fully minimized. Set the front wheel straight ahead.

| Start the engine and make sure it idles properly with the throttle grip fully clockwise (closed). Now open the throttle and quickly release it. It should spring back with a snap and resume a proper idle. Turn the front wheel fully left to fully right.
