Accelerator cable not long enough??

airz1988 · Derestricted Danger Joined: 27 Nov 2016 Karma :

The bike i am riding at the moment is a Suzuki gsx600f, the guy I bought it off turned it into a naked bike and put rental bars on it instead of the clip on bars that are usually fitted to the bike, meaning the handle bars are further away from the carbs meaning my accelerator cable is stretched!!! It revs on its own when I turn the handlebars to the right!!! Just wondering what cable do I fit to stop the problem?? It's routed as well as it can be but I'm thinking something 4 inches longer will completely solve this problem?? Any help is much appreciated Smile

thanks in advance.

I would imagine you would have to buy a new cable of the correct length

Venhill are good Thumbs Up

Made me a longer clutch cable for my Speed Four.

Before you get something longer have a look see if you can reroute the current cable. I got away without changing my Throttle cable because I ran it a more direct route.

Try off the shelf bandit throttle pull cable, pattern ones are a tenner. I suspect it will fit.

The other way is to snip it near the end, and solder a length of (preferably braided) steel wire to it with a mini blowtorch and high-temp solder, with as much overlap as you can. If it fails, of course, it will be dangerous. But if you're good with soldering, why not?

Hi

Last custom cable I had made by Venhill came to about £45 once postage and VAT was included. These days I have a kit to make them up myself when I need them.

Whether the cable will fit will also depend on the end fittings and the amount of free play, not just the length.

All the best

Thanks for your link roger I would have had one made if I couldn't find what I was looking for but I took talktothehats advice and got my hands on a bandit 1200 throttle cable from a breakers yesterday, really good second hand condition for 12 quid, it fit straight on (oiled it just in case it were dry) and now have no revving when I full lock the handlebars to the right Smile

problem solved!!! it wasn't a major problem in the first place but obviously needed sorting, as for everyone else's ridiculous unwanted criticism and input, go fuck yourselves you're all full of shit Smile

thanks for wasting my time annoying me so much that I felt the need to reply, much appreciated talktothehat Smile
