1978 CB750 F2 throttle cables
« on: September 17, 2019, 02:51:23 PM »
anyone know if there is any difference - length wise -between a push cable 17920-341-000 (which is fitted to the 750f and k1 to k6 and which is on my bike but seems to be sooo tight it is almost without any adjustment) and the correct one for a 1977/78 f2 - 17920-405-610

The different part numbers mean there is some difference there!
If it's got tits or wheels, it's hassle, if it's got both, RUN!!!

Think I've a F2 example I could measure to confirm for you,  you'd need to post how much bare cable you've got sticking out of the external to see.

They don't have any real slack in them when fitted,  you have to put on "non pull" first as it has no adjustment at all I believe.

thanks for the offer but a bit of internet searching seems to show there is 3cm difference in the movement (the early k's 6cm and the f2 9cm) but since I have now got it fitted I will leave it for the time being and maybe change both cables later.

moorey, also the bike is uk so I guess the bars are also uk.
