CB400F Throttle cable A & B lengths
AshimotoK0:
Thanks Dave ... great info.

Even though I have quite a few NOS looking cables they all seem longer than those dimensions so possibly off a 250G5
I was therefore just about to order the DS ones which he claims are OEM and the only difference between his and Honda is the price.
BUT I can't see a spring on the DS opening one. I always thought that both cables had the spring fitted.
Bit confused as I have seen a NOS in bag genuine one for sale with no spring on the throttle opening cable but Part Book deffo shows one fitted.

I can't see any spring on the parts book pics just a sectional view of the outer cable without the black outer layer ?
I can't recall any springs in my old original cables or the DS replacements I always aasumed the return spring(s) on the throttle system were strong enough.

Here you go Ted ! Protection springs I guess. I think the DS push 'B' cable has one fitted but not the other 'A' one.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I did not think they were any springs on the throttle cable itself - I thought that was a sectional representation of the cable - I live and learn Ash assuming you are right - I bow to your experience.
The spring if fitted between the quadrant & the adjuster would serve no real purpose it would just squash up and serve no purpose - am I missing something here or is it acting as an outer cable buffer?
