    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

1150 Sloppy throttle cable overnight fix?

Bought a new throttle cable, but this is a non stock application(gsxr cable to gsxr carbs to stock 83 1100 throttle housing). It's been over 10 years since I replaced it. Got about a 1/4 inch of slop, with throttle grip side adjusted more than half way out. The carb side has 1/3" +/- room to adjust, but not sure if that'll be enough.

I recall Posplayer doing something on the throttle grip, for quarter turn throttle, wondering if I could theoretically add something to the throttle grip housing slot to take up slack. I remember a friend soldering the end a bit shorter, but thought maybe I could figure out another way. Don't trust my soldering skills. I need to figure this out before 2 pm tomorrow PST or just use my old one, but it's on its last leg. Thanks for any suggestions or advice
 
Well, thought I had 1" PVC, but 3/4" was it in the garage, probably for fork spring spacer material.

Anyhow, ended up using the other slot in the throttle grip housing, forgot about that slot. Seemed to work, and the throttle twist to wot seems shorter than before. No slop with a smudge of free play. Hope it's enough.
