Honda CBR600FR 1994 - Throttle cable issue, over-revving

[s0urc3]

Hi all,

Well, after deciding to give my bike a good spring clean about an hour ago; I also decided that it would be a good idea to see why each time I turn my handlebars to the right, the revs go up.

Naturally, I presumed that it would be something to do with the throttle cable pulling...

I decided to tighten a nut that sits underneath the throttle as it was slightly loose...

Since then, I turned the bike on and the revs are absolutely immense; I'm not sure how to fix this problem so any input would be absolutely fantastic!

Thanks in advance

Would have thought what you are experiencing is the cable routing is incorrect. As when your full lock right it is stretching over the frame.

I would suggest you look to see it it is this, If it is, re set the throttle cable free play and re route the cable.

If not i would be tempted to change the cable. Might be sticking inside.

Cheers man

There are two cables connecting to the throttle itself, one of them I know is the throttle adjuster and I'm not sure of the other one; but it's one of those that I decided to tighten..

I tried to loosen one a second ago to see if "re-tracing" and backtracking on my "stupidity" would work, but unfortunately I'm still experiencing the idle high

Humm

I would think one is the open and one is the close for the throttle.

Not too sure then. If there correctly routed, I would just work my way down from the throttle cleaning everything and then lubing it with a sutible lube.

Check the carbs are clean where the throttle cable is.

Without looking at it tho, I am not much help.

Sounds like you turned one of the cable adjusters. You've probably got it adjusted with too little slack, thus its holding the throttle open and revving high.

If the revs increase or decrease when you turn the bars, then the cable is either sticking, or the cable is routed wrong (as already said).

Thanks a lot for the help guys; much appreciated!

I managed to sort it in the end with your help. I had a look at the throttle adjuster; watched a video on Youtube on how to adjust it properly and it sorted the problem!

Cheers
