Just fitted some new bars .... similar to Protapers.. look wicked but now it seems like my throttle cables need a little adjusting.. Seems it is on possive throttle. If I release the clutch in gear the bike pulls forward. Had a look onder the throttle body and loosened the 2 lock nuts thinking there may be some amount of adjustment there... no luck!! Any idea how I can tweat it ?
New bars causing issues with throttle??

#2Follow the two cables from the grip throttle, about 10 cm away is a rubber cover, under which is some adjustment for the throttle to tighten it up, you need a 10 or 8mm spanner if I recall.
Make sure your grips are free to spin back without fouling the bar end too.

#3Great will do... seen those adjusters before on other cables... Think these may be replacments, don't remember seeing any!! Hope i'M wrong I see the throttle is contolled by the throttle bodies etc. I took the headlight off, could this have affected the temp sensor and effected the throttle???? The plug may be loose???

#4The adjustment is only on the send cable and not return. Don't sorry this is normal.

#5OK, found the adjuster on one cable ( a little better).. other cable does not have one.... Any ideas?

#6I've had this several times when changing bars, for me every time all I've had to do is fiddle with the headlight mask to make sure that the throttle cables aren't being restricted where they pass by the mask and down into the underbelly of the beast
worth a shot
