    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.

I've got my stuff tore apart putting on Superbike bars. When I fired it up, the rpm's shot to 7,000. :eek: I don't know if I have the cable in the wrong hole, or I need a shorter cable. I did re-route it. If I take everything loose, it's fine. But as soon as I mount the throttle back on the bars, the rpm's go crazy. I think I need the shorter cable, but I'm still lost on which hole it goes in.
 
You shouldn't need a shorter cable to make this work. You would only need one for better routing between the grip and the carbs. Try the hole on top in the photo you posted. You should be able to feel a little slack at idle when you have the correct hole.

You'll need to readjust the cable at the carbs either way. With the handlebars all the way to the right (tightest bend of the installed cable), adjust the cable to almost eliminate slack. If you don't have a little slack with the bars to the right, the engine will rev when turning right in parking lots.
 
I swapped to daytona bar recently and the same thing happened. I just switched holes and didn't have to adjust anything.
 
Well I got it fixed. It was the cable that needed adjusted. Thanks for the tip. ;)
