If I turn the bars all the way to the left, the engine winds up to about 3,000RPM!!! Looks like the throttle cable is being pulled on something but I don't see where. Anyone ever have this problem???

Its pulling the throttle cable somehow. It may need to be rerouted, use the most gentle bends you can. -
You're not twisting the grip as you turn, right?
That'd be dumb.

ooh ooh, i know!
try adjusting it at the lock nut under the throttle housing, where it has the right angle and locknut? you need to shorten the cable so there is slack on your handle when it's straight...
it might be routing as well, but this was my issue as I use that nut to hold it at idle in the mornings, sometimes I would forget to retighten it and get the turning revs....Comment

Yeah, recompile your OSPF database, and run traceroutes from your carburetors to your handlebars to make sure you have no loops.Originally posted by Jethro
Make sure your BGP links to the throttle grips are up in both directions.Comment

It sounds like you may be trying to adust the idle on your bike with tension on the throttle cable. The throttle cable should always have slack, so that turning the bars does not increase tension on the cable.Originally posted by SuperCell
Adjust your throttle cable until you feel slack in the throttle grip when the bar is turned to the left. The idle adjustment is under the carburetors.Comment
