    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...

    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.

Throttle Cable Adustment?

Hey guys, I get a increase in throttle when the handle bars are turned in one direction (I think its right). What causes this. Is my throttle cable too tight or something? It idles fine when bars are centered or turned the other direction ie; to the left.
Thanks
Jim
 
the cable is probably not routed properly or perhaps you have the wrong length of cable . I would make sure that the cable is not hung up on anything on it's way through and that it has a good flow all the way eg: no kinks or real sharp bends .there is also an adjustment on mine which is a 1980 1000g at the top of the carbs and if that is too tight it could possibly cause the idle to go up when the bars are turned so check these out should be a pretty easy fix. You will probably have to take your tank off to get a real good look at the cable adjuster ....mark
 
Re: Throttle Cable Adustment?

Most likely, the throttle cable housing is routed incorrectly between the carbs and handlebargrip. If you have replaced the cable, you may have ordered a replacement that is too short.

Jim, it could just be your throttle cable adjustment. My cable is routed correctly but will exhibit the same effect if there is insufficient slack in the cable. Suzuki owner's manuals usually specify the proper amount of throttle cable slack......I find the specified amount too large for smooth riding so I use the adjuster at the handlebar throttle cable housing to remove slack until no rpm increases are produced when the handlebar is turned from lock to lock. The amount of slack necessary to accomplish this is usually very small.
