cable routing
« on: April 13, 2011, 02:27:19 PM »
What is the correct routing for the throttle cables?I believe they go on the left side of the frame?Do they go above or below the tank mount and the coils?It is a 72  750.
                                    Thanks John

They go around the frame neck to the left as you said. Then under the tank mounts and under the coils.

Does the large wire harness go under the tank mount also?

Wait...no. I just looked and I misspoke. The large harness goes over the tank mount on my K4. It is the same on my K1 too.

Hey Johnie shouldn't your main cable bundle go to the inside of the throtle cables?

don't know the answer myself, just curious.

Yah, I saw that but that is the way I bought it. When I tried it the other way it put to much of a bend in the throttle cables. And the harness was bent in a way to make the cables follow a smooth path.
