What should the tension be on the throttle cable?
The accelerator cable tension is usually set so that 2-3mm of free play is present in the throttle grip. Once the correct tension has been applied, the lock nuts should be snugged and any dust covers should be slid back over the adjusters.
How is the Free Play of the throttle cable checked?
Throttle cable free play is typically checked by measuring the amount of throttle grip movement relative to a fixed point on the throttle cable housing. Most makes/models specify 2-3mm of throttle grip free play.
How can I tell if my throttle cable is binding?
With the engine idling and in neutral, rotate the handlebars from stop to stop and listen for any changes in idle behavior. Increases or decreases in idle speed may suggest that the throttle cable is binding either due to tight spots or cable routing. ProX has throttle cables available for a long list of applications.
What should I do if my throttle cable is not returning?
If the throttle does not completely return the cable may be binding, incorrectly routed, frayed, or corroded, which warrants further investigation. With the bike OFF, twist the trottle open to the stop and let go.
What happens when the throttle valve cable is out of specification?
When the throttle valve cable is out of specification, the transmission can shift early, shift late or not shift at all. Before the throttle valve cable can be adjusted, the transmission must be in good working order. First, you will need to find out if the transmission is faulty or if the transmission just needs to be adjusted.
Throttle cable free play is typically checked by measuring the amount of throttle grip movement relative to a fixed point on the throttle cable housing. Most makes/models specify 2-3mm of throttle grip free play.
What does throttling data mean on the Internet?
What Is Throttling Data? Throttling is the process of an ISP purposely slowing down an internet user’s data transmission. Sometimes you’ll see lower speeds that are difficult to explain and aren’t attributed to equipment issues.
Where do I find the throttle valve cable?
Before you can make any adjustments, you will need to locate the throttle valve adjustment location and the throttle linkage. Pop the hood and look for the intake piping. Follow the piping to the intake itself. You will find a series of linkages and cables mounted on the intake. The one pictured above is an example of the throttle valve linkage.
