Loose throttle cable

Postby Dilogoat86 » Tue Dec 08, 2009 10:57 am

Is there a way to adjust the throttle cable? There's a decent amount of slack on mine and it makes for an unresponsive (at times) throttle. I had a look through the manuals but I can't find anything about adjustment, just fitting.

Its very easily done IIRC, loosen the cable guide on the back of the plenum and move it to increase cable tension(just make sure its not too tight, a small bit of slack is OK).

Thanks CJ. I'll take a look tonight while I do the drop links. (If they come in the post)
