throttle slack and high idle
how does everyone adjut their slack in the throttle? i know that "factory" calls for a slight bit of slack but i know a few guys that dont like ANY slack so that there is constant pressure on the cables... but what about running high idle becaus when you crank the idle up your basically just moving the butterflies which in turn causes more slack on the throttle cables even if there is none at stock idle... just lookin for a few pointers becaus anytime i use engine brake then get back into the throttle there is a harsh jump in the throttle so i wondered if taking out the slack might help

Re: throttle slack and high idle
ok when you twist your grip there is a small bit of slack before you actually have tention on the throttle cables and thats wat factory recommends.... what i was askin was if many people take out that slack so that there is NO play in the grip and steady pressure on the cables.... BUT with that bein said when you run high idle it brings that slack right back.... what do you do there? adjust the cables for a tight stock idle or for a higher one?

adjust it as tight as you like it just make sure it doesn't go up when you turn your bars left and right and then you should be good and like some one said already when you turn your idle up the return cable will turn your throttle so it shouldn't make you have play when you turn up your idle ..
so you should be able to adjust the play out with your idle turned up or down and it shouldn't make a difference

Re: throttle slack and high idle
I adjust my slack at the clip ons where the cable come out of the throttle and it takes the slack away for a week or so but then it comes back and I have the cable almost all the way out at the throttle. Is there any other place I can adjust it at?

well wait a minute there may be an adjustment by your throttle bodies im can't remember but you would have to take off your tank and air box to adjust it down there
