[:@][:@][:@]Just bought new grips can someone tell me what the trick is to getting the throttle cables in the newone. poped them right out of old one thought I would be able to slide them right back in b =ut I cant seem to figure it out. So out goes the call for help before I fubar something.[sm=hail.gif] Well not getting much help maybe I need to be more specific. I can get one cable in but cant get enough slack to get the other one in. I know there must be a simple way to do this .any help would be greatley appreciated

 

make sure you're not mixing them, just drip a little oil, wiggle it as you push and should it go in...damn that just made me horney, think i'm gonna tap the wife..cya

 

BAAAHAAAHAAAHAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Remember that you have to loosen the cables before you try to re-install. Just slide the little rubber boot off the cable, loosen it a lot, put the cables in the grip, then re tighten and adjust the cable.

Thank you for the help I knew there was some thing easy I was missing. when I readjust itwhat is the proper procedure ????

 

Before I loosened the cables, I counted the number of exposed threads on each cable adjuster and put them back to those spots after changing out the grip. It's a pretty lengthy procedure in the manual to adjust them if they need it.

 

I dont have the manual in front of me so this is from memory. I tightened up each one little by little until there was just a little bit of slack in each cable. Do not tighten them to the point where there is not slack.I am sure there is some type of spec. on how much slack there is supposed to be in the manual.Good luck.

 

[sm=icon_cheers.gif][sm=icon_cheers.gif]Thanks guys for the help. Will take a measurement before I loosen them and just put them back to the same spot. Thanks agin have a good evening>

 

Completely colapse the throttle and idle cables. This should give you enough slack to place the ferrels in their respective holes.
Be very careful with the throttle cable (front). Don't stretch it or use anything but you hands to get it in place.
After you have both ferrels in place and the cables are in their grooves on the grip, adjust the throttle cable by turning the throttle cable adjusting nut until at WOT you can hear the efi/carb wheel hit the stop. Now back it off just a hair. You want the throttle grip to hit WOT just before the efi wheel hits WOT. This will avoid stretching the cable. Now tighten the idle cable to any amount of slack you want in the throttle grip.
