ZXR400 - 2 cables coming out of the accelerator

Hi,

I had to take my right handle bar apart, and i noticed that there were 2 cables coming off the accelerator grip, one was sprung and the other seemed loose.

Does anyone know what they are, i think one goes to the carb, which i guess is the one that springs back. but i'm not sure what the other one is.

is it for like the fuel pump and also should it be slack???

The bike seems fine and accelerates fine (in neutral) I havent taken it out for a ride yet.

Any ideas?

Me

One is to open the butterflys, one is the close them

Not off the top of my head sorry, havent taken the throttle side apart yet, just the carbs. At a guess I assume the one further away from you (sat on the bike) should be loose with no throttle applied, then that you adjust to give the throttle free-play, then it tightens and moves the butterflys as you twist the throttle.
