Title: Breva 1100 throttle cable adjust
Post by: tris on July 22, 2016, 07:02:23 AM

I'm trying to adjust the throttle cables and am finding something a "bit strange" IMO

I've been backing both cables all the way slack and at that point the throttle snaps shut very satisfactorily

When I firstly take the slack out of the closer
a) I use every bit of the adjustment available
b) the throttle action stiffens up

I then have to barely move the opener

Is this simply that the cables (35k miles) are worn or is there something else going on.

I believe that the opener is 1120mm long (110mm free length) while the closer is 1125mm long (100mm free length)

Could they have been installed arse about face originally  :undecided:

PS
This is the 1st bike I've owned with twin cables so I might be just cocking it up  :embarrassed: :embarrassed:

Sussed it  :laugh:

 I slackened both cables of fully and then tightened them both up evenly to minimal free play.

Voilà no more snatchy pick up from a closed throttle

Happy Days  :cheesy:
