#240505 Mr_Shamrock (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2884 Throttle cables question 2 Years, 2 Months ago   Has anyone ran just the throttle cable and did away with the idle cable? I know the older HD's only had the one cable and they went to 2 for safety, but is it REALLY necessary. I guess it was incase the throttle got hung up, but that has never happened to me or anyone I know. After all if the throttle gets hung up you can always just pull the clutch and shut her down. I just wanted to get your thoughts.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #240507 PapaTom (Moderator) I said 4 quarts. Moderator Posts: 3178 Re:Throttle cables question 2 Years, 2 Months ago   There are forum members who've taken the return cable off without a problem Shamrock. It does clean it up. I've been thinking of doing it also.   Logged     FREE SPIRIT 2007 Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #240510 Roadkill1962 (User) ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ Platinum Boarder Posts: 3110 Re:Throttle cables question 2 Years, 2 Months ago   When I switched to the 16" apes, I just put the pull cable on & did away with the push (return) cable...the spring on the carb is doing just fine, haven't had a problem.

Cheap too. greyphart I'm still running the O.E.M. dual-cable system. I've noticed that the throttle doesn't "spring back" as easily as my previous bikes w/ single-cable set-up. I keep the cables lubed & they're adjusted properly. Is this normal? Does going to a single-cable set-up help this condition? And, I've got to know, what is the "baggie trick"? What's in the "baggie" & is it legal???   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #240879 Mr_Shamrock (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2884 Re:Throttle cables question 2 Years, 2 Months ago   Well I found out something interesting today (not sure if you guys were aware of this)...The factory R* idle cable will also work as the throttle cable AND since I am trying to clean up the bars the factory R* idle cable will thread right in to an HD/custom throttle assembly. This is the one I bought...   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/11/30 15:17 By Mr_Shamrock.   The administrator has disabled public write access.
