Title: Throttle cable routing
Post by: sye on March 09, 2019, 05:17:13 PM
Looking at all of the available information the throttle cables run over the top of the R/H headlight ear, down the left side and through the coil hole. My question is, do they go between the wiring cluster and the headstock or between the wiring and the headlight shell? Seems a bit long next to the headstock and may pinch the wiring if they are in front.

Thanks.  ;D

My K0 is similar to Dave's, but I think that mine go above the tank mounting bung. But the tank is on so can't check. I do know that on right lock they are pretty stretched and there is damage to the outer of one under the tank area after just a few thousand miles.

On a UK unit, over the ear, down the left and through the frame hole. Through the clock bracket is USA.

Good, that's the way I wired my UK K1. As above on the US model the cables are at a stretch on full right lock and have taken the paint off the top yoke.
