| 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.

| + | ===== Adjusting The Throttle & Idle Cables ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The concept of adjustment here is to prevent the throttle cable from extra tension when the grip is fully in the WOT position. This is prevented by making sure the grip is at maximum rotation (WOT) before winding the adjuster to make the throttle plate reach the WOT Stop on the carburetor cam. It is important to adjust the cables in the following manner and sequence or your throttle cable may be overstessed every time you go to the WOT position, eventually breaking due to excessive tension. | ||
| 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 - or a helper). 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 WOT 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.

| If, when moving the front wheel from left to right to left, the idle changes or the grip does not spring back into the idle position immediately upon release, readjust the idle cable adjuster to assure proper functioning and check that there is no tight bend or kink in the cable creating friction and preventing smooth operation. | If, when moving the front wheel from left to right to left, the idle changes or the grip does not spring back into the idle position immediately upon release, readjust the idle cable adjuster to assure proper functioning and check that there is no tight bend or kink in the cable creating friction and preventing smooth operation. | ||
