hey guys I had been putting up with a warm idle hanging at 2,000 rpm for this summer. It was getting worse just a 20 mile commute at the end of it my idle would hang there. So I broke down and put it in the shop and JP found a frayed throttle cable ready to break. They're gonna replace that and the idle cable. I thought it was TPS or the ECM since this year I was heavy teaching Total Control on the bike. Was it all of my parking lot school riding? Is there a better than stock throttle cable? what do you think? | ||

Pre lube the cable.And Lube it once a year & it should last a long time. | ||

Send your old used frayed cable to motion pro they can make you a new cable. I spoke to them about month ago about buell cables they said they need the old cable because they might need to reuse some of the fittings on the old cable. they made me some custom cables for my FZ6 yamaha and did a great job. | ||

I was curious about my cable and had reason to inspect it after my throttle shaft broke at 82k miles. I was pleasantly surprised to find only light polishing right where the cable exits the cable housing at the throttle body. Also very clean and no evidence of fraying (it is a small cable!) It traveled freely and I decided to reuse it with the new throttle body. So far, so good. | ||

okay cool I guess a lot or riding in pouring down rain might have dried out the cable. I'll save the cable so I can get it refabbed. Thank you for your thoughts and advice. K |
