Throttle cables
« on: September 28, 2013, 08:11:29 PM »
Finally got around to changing the sticky pattern made cables and can't believe the difference the throttle is much more responsive and sooo much lighter popped a wheelie pulling away at a junction  8) Also got the cruise control working what a faff trying to twiddle the knob  ???

Just proves the point that you can't beat genuine parts for some items! Although I have noticed that Dave Silver Spares has started offering cables made by the original manufacturer that made them for Honda, but I haven't tried one yet, but theoretically should be every bit as good, for a better price ;D

Hi sorry to hijack this thread but i was wondering if you had the correct routing for the 2 throttle cables do they both go through the hole in the centre of the frame or over the top ??

Just wondering what cables go where ??

Does the opening cable go closest to you on the handle bars and the closing frurthest away ?? And which one goes where on the carbs ??

Mick i noticed you are running pod filters on your F1 and a different exhaust any recommendations on needle position and jet sizes to go for ??

Cheers
