That clamp that is held together by an allen screw where the cables go to the carb. What does it do? When I reassembled my M2 today, I thought that it should clamp on the cable ferrules because if it rides higher up on the cable housing it is too big to clamp anything. Now I see that all the pictures in the manual seem to show it higher up. Do the cables just slide through it loosely? I think I put the thing together wrong, although it runs great with the new pilot jet. I would hate to have to take the air intake off again. That thing is a pain to assemble. | ||

This clamp must be something on the later models, my 98 M2 has no such clamp | ||

There's also a nifty explanation on them in Badwebs' very own Knowledge Vault! http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/384 2/B056-263602.pdf | ||

BUELLers: This Throttle Cable Clamp is on there for SAFETY !!! There should have been a recall on Harley-Davidson/BUELL motorcycles with this CARB./THROTTLE situation ... This recall was only on later BUELLs(Tube Frame Models) ... The first time "i" had the gas tank off "i" recognized this as a SAFETY ISSUE which comes from racing ... My Safety Correction on was to SAFETY WIRE the throttle cables on my 1997 S3T to the carb. throttle cable bracket ... | ||

OK, so it clamps on the ends of the cables to keep the cable from popping out of the carb. Looks like a good idea and I installed it correctly. The documents refer only to fuel-injected bikes and Blasts but apparently later M2s got them too. Thanks! | ||

I don't think I've had that clamp properly (re)installed since I rejetted my carb for the first time in August of 2000. Glad I read this... |
