My kind of service tech. You can work on my bike anyway. Like how you do the little extras that most service guys neglect to do. Thanks for the great video of how to adjust the throttle cables the correct way. Great channel I look forward to seeing what you're working on next.
I have watched a lot of different tutorials and many are very good. What I like about this one, is you smoothly transitioned from each step and explained why you are doing what you are doing! I found this excellent. And..... there is nothing wrong with learning something knew no matter how many years you have been riding. 30+ YEARS for me and still learning something new! Thanks bro!
finally had a day off,started my 06 RK Carlini upgrade got all the way to the throttle/idle cables and totally could not remember the cable orientation at the hand grips your video is so well recorded showed me exactly what I needed just wanted to say..thank you.
Hey Mr church thanks for the info however I believe I have to start from o again it was a bit frustrating to put everything back together on my 03 1100 Shadow Sabre but I enjoy wrenching and fixing things myself with the limited knowledge I have the manual held a lot when I’m stuck but not much illustration on cable adjustment I have beyond free play throttle and your video reaffirms I need to redo it step by step with the same patience you displayed thanks again psi I have the attitude that nothing mechanical can never intimidate me or discourage me 😊
@@norsemencustomcycles7289 Thank you for making it I always like to learn more you can never learn too much. I shared your vid with a few friends who were having cable adjustment problems on their high apes. I will have to check and see what other videos you have. Currently working on dialing in a 00 Softail Standard I re jetted trying to find the happy medium of not too rich yet not too lean. Your the third person I have ever seen who know that cardboard trick right on.
Thanks best throttle adjusting walkthrough I have seen. I have tried several times to get mine right on my 2000 Softail FLSTC Heritage. I always did it lIke I did on my carb Harleys, but it was like I was missing something. I think the combination of using the /2” ext to hold open the throttle combined with the holding the fork straight then left and right is my issue. I’m going through it tomorrow and I will drop you a comment if successful. Thanks you got a new subscriber. Thanks Dave C
I've been riding Harleys for over 60 years starting with panheads. I've never once adjusted or lubed a throttle cable on any of them. The things you don;t know about. One more regular maintenance thing to add to the list. sigh... :)
I have a 2007 FLHTCU Harley with sidecar.i have a problem with my oil pressure,light works but the gauge does not work.the gauge has been tested out and is good. also engine oil pressure tested and is to Harley spec's .
Great video! I have a question though. At the 12:48 mark you point out which cable is the idle cable, and say that you're going to adjust it. A couple seconds later the camera cuts off and then at 12:56 you say that the idle cable was adjusted, but it's not clear what work you did. Is that just taking up excess slack / movement in the possible fore-aft rotation of the throttle?
My throttle is starting to stick. I've followed your video and found i had a kink in the idle cable. Can I personally bend it back to just better off replacing it?
Is the procedure on a fuel injection bike much different? I have a 1999 FLHRCI . Any vids on this model would be appreciated. Learning a lot from your videos!
now i installed a new cable to tight and after a few months it broke. so the next one i made it loose after wide open up... very important that it will break off...

This is the BEST explanation of the procedure by far. Been fighting with those on a fatboy and could not figure it out by the manual. Thank you.
One of the best tutorial videos I've ever watched concerning the throttle cables! Appreciate you putting the time in to make them. Much respect!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! Glad it was helpful to someone!

I couldn't get the snap back on the throttle until I stuck the extension into the intake. good trick.
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful!

Awesome! Glad you found it useful! Let me know how it goes for sure. Feel free to message me directly if you cant seem to get it right still.
I really appreciated the little trick with the 1/2 drive extension my cables dont have as much slack as most videos show
Hell yeah! Im glad you found it helpful! If you ever have any questions about anything I do in the videos feel free to ask me! Im here to help!
Another thing nobody mentions is the housing for the return is larger than the trottle

As far as the throttle cables go, yes. Adjusting the idle is a little diffrent though.
so how do you adjust throttle and return cables
Good jod
now i installed a new cable to tight and after a few months it broke. so the next one i made it loose after wide open up... very important that it will break off...
Any vrod work mate?
you should of showen the return cable adjustment
Do I have to disconnect the battery to do this?
Of course! That's always the first step 😎
