Pull Throttle Cable

Seems the Motion Pro 02-0334 cable leaves little room for adjustment, had to back the primary adjuster under the tank all the way out and the one on the handlebar switch pod is all the way out from the factory. There is only one nut on the carb end that only serves to lock the cable to the bracket. The instructions in the shop manual aren't much help either.

I just checked the cable adjusters again and they are both extended to their maximum in order to pick up the slack.
Anyone else?

I'm not sure about the part number, but I had the same issue when installing mine. It leaves no room for adjustment later when the cable stretches, which will happen.
My plan was to cut off the end and somehow press a new one on....haven't figured that out yet though.

That's the problem with the Motion Pro cables, almost like stock but, not exactly. Contact Louis to see if he has any. Be sitting down when he quotes you the price.

A second nut on the carb end of the cable might be the answer. Remove the cable from the bracket, remove the cable end from the throttle link, slip the first nut over the cable end thread it all the way up, run the second all the way to the bottom end, reattach the cable end to the throttle link, slide the assembly into the mounting bracket and then use the upper nut to adjust the slack and the bottom nut to lock the cable in place. Plenty of threads to adjust out the the slack before using the midway adjustment and fine adjustment at the handlebar.

Lol. I actually got a good price on a pair of side covers from him.
I went with motionpro because they were slightly shorter and were perfect for my application. Little did I know that there is no adjustments

There is no midway adjust with motionpro.

There is on the Motion Pro pull cable, it's designed the same as the Honda one. You're thinking of the push cable, it doesn't have a midway adjustment.

Spooky#1, what bars do you have on your bike? If you have the USA high bars, I may have a pair of OEM cables in good order that you would be welcome to for not a lot of money. Let me know via PM and I'll have a dig around in my stash.

It is not only about the height of the bars and the length of the cables. Main thing is the SWITCH. The U.S. cables have completely different attachment to the switch as compared to the top-exit "Euro" or "Sport Kit" switch.
