please help....(cables)

guys... i really need your help!!! i can not get my new lengthened throttle cables to work properly but i need my bike up and running as i have trips arranged.

I dont technically know how to install throttle cables - as in, where you should start your adjusts from and so on. I just always play until it works.

I noticed that the cables had to be in the exact right postion, if you pull them down or to the side just a touch, the throttle action will stiffen up. my main prob is when locking the bars from right to left. 9 times of 10 all is cool and the throttle action is fine.

but 1 out of 10 times.....and the cables get caught on the support that holds the front cowl on. This jams the throttle!




i use Renthal Dakar high bars with 20mm shim stack risers. The new cables are 75mm longer than standard (Cost around �65).

there too bloody long arent they???? have any of you guys had lengthed cables. what length should i have gone for?? (so pissed of right now!!)
