T500 Throttle Cable Routing

Post by Mencie »

Hi all.

Just fitted a brand new set of aftermarket grey colour control cables to my 500.

Can anybody describe or better still post an image of the correct routing for the Throttle Cable?

I have tried it in various positions but none seem quite right.

Many thanks.

M.

I don't know if it's right but I routed through the aperture in the meter bracket. Round the RH side of the head-stock along the rh frame tube loosely clipped place. Doesn't catch or crush and lock to lock with no pick up in idle revs. Throttle returns to its stops OK and operates smoothly. Right or wrong its works so that where it ended up, you can see the one into three junction just sits under the front of the tank in the photo below.

Nice one Alan, I'm routing round the headstock to the left at the moment, the three way splitter sits right next to the coils and makes things a touch tight to slip the tank on.

I will try your suggested method.

Lovely Mk3 you have there, I set my heart on the hens teeth Mk2 but if it hadn't happened would have happily settled on a Mk3. :up:
