Glad it was helpful.
Watching in 2024. Ty so much for this vid
You sound alot like Bill Pullman. True lies lol. Thnx again bro
Dude these videos are on point!! Excellent series so far!!
+RideWithGonk Thanks Gonk! Hopefully I can get the auto focus to work better on the next one.:)
6 years late but great video man. great explanations and how to.
Good stuff, thank you sir
So far this is the best video I've seen on how to adjust the throttle cables. Thanks a million !
appriciate the video, just a suggestion, maybe have someone operate the camera, it's hard to see what you're doing sometimes.
Very good video. I am a new rider and I just noticed that my 2022 Harley XL883N Iron 883 has way too much free play in the throttle. My bike has very low mileage on it also. It only had 1200 km on it when I bought it from the dealership so maybe the throttle was never adjusted before, I am not really sure. When I roll on the throttle there is a lot of free play until the throttle actually opens up to tension. I also noticed this as when I am upshifting to a higher gear when I roll back on the throttle, it takes a bit for my bike to respond to the acceleration of upshifting thus the shifts are not smooth because of the lag response of the throttle.
Thank you for this thorough guide - Been wanting to adjust my cables for some time and you just inspired me to go with it
I just got a 2018 Sportster custom XL 1200. My idling app is very high and even without applying throttle the engine races. How can I reduce the idle so that the bike goes slow when not applying thro?
Cannot thank you enough for making this video!! By far, your video is the clearest one on RUclips explaining the touches of throttle and return ledges. Your tutorial is simple, clear & concise.
Here is what happened : I put bar risers making my cables ended up too tense and the throttle became very sticky. My local dealer said I need to get a pair of new cables and it costs me around 250 dollars. Plus, I need to leave my bike with him for one week because of all the cable measurements, swapping and adjustments.
Thanks a lot !!!! You have a good one !!
Thanks so much for the video! I was having too much play before the throttle opened up. Can't wait to go home and adjust it. Your videos are amazing bud!
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
Very helpful. Great video. Thanks.
Thanks, good video instruction, great for changing grips.
Dude I love your videos keep the info coming brothuuuurr
Can you do a video on how to replace a clutch safety interlock switch? I broke that piece when trying to replace grips
Tbh, there’s a lot of talking and you still don’t clearly show how to adjust it.
Thanks for the video
Thanks for watching👊👊👊
Thank you Tony, much appreciated.
Mucho gracias Amigo, throttle cable loose and has play at entrance to housing
We really need to drop our wrench like that ?
Excellent video thanks!
so how do you adjust the throttle cable and return
Cool,know I know which one is throttle
I know, I got a little excited there. With all the different views I just wanted to be clear.
Tony's Garage all the views are great,now I know difference between the two
Hi Tony's Garage your video is very good! I from to Brazil and I have one sportster 1200. My bike has a problem or balance. Do you have a video that changes the balance? Sorry, but my english is terrible.
Glad the videos are helpful. I am not sure what you mean by “balance”.
Very good/informative 👍🏼
Great video, thanks.
Thank you thank you thank you LOL
Very informative. Nice video !
Glad it helped Geno. Thanks for watching and ride safe.
Thanks for the help!
My stock adjustement nuts, ust wont move. It is driving me crazy.
Try some heat and pb blaster.
This was extremely helpful. Thank you!
Thank for watching!!! Ride safe.
I was wondering if you could help. My throttle cable is max adjusted and even if I run out of threads my throttle doesn't open 100% are my cables stretches
Just got my first Harley. A 2007 Sportster Custom 1200. Thank you for these videos. New subscriber.
Saving me 800.00
Thanks Tony
Easily one of the best Instructional videos I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen A LOT throughout my time. Short, sweet, to the point, and covered everything. Awesome video man, thanks for the help!
Now I SEE
Some explain how to adjust or use that star looking screw adjuster between the two cables... Thanks.
Great video that’s helped me out with adjusting my cables. Thank you 🙏
Thanks. Much easier to follow than the Clymer manual...
Very clear instruction👍🏻
Thank you.
nice vid but i do believe you do not put the lube tube in the hole in the top the lube hole is on the side opposite the tightening screw the hole on the top is for holding the rubber insert in place at least it is on the one i have in the uk.
What is the star like dial between throttle and return/idle cables under housing?
Damn bro , great video . Very easy to understand and right to the point . Thank you!
Or... you can count the threads and put both of them back where you had them to begin with.
Another great video!
+Jeffrey Swiggett thanks
Do you have too lube both cables?
Yes maam
Have had my original throttle cables for 20 years on my sportster. This weekend it broke for the first time.I ve never lubricated anything. But like your videos!
Thanks for watching👊
Tony's Garage hi watched your video on adjusting the throttle cable on the Sportsters I have a question for you I own a 97 883 hugger Sportster CV 40mm carb now on this type of carb routing the throttle and I del cable's would I route the throttle cable to the front side of the butterfly cam and the Idea cable to the rear side of the cam?
Throttle cable will always pull the throttle open. More than likely it is the frontside. Hope this helps thanks for watching and ride safe.
I swapped grips and didn’t adjust anything, now my bike won’t start unless in neutral, is it because I didn’t adjust the cables?
Check the clutch pressure switch.
i cant thank you enough
Glad it helped👊👊👊
Hey dude. This saved my ass today. I was ankle deep in tension issues with the throttle, and not even the HD dealership could explain it as well as you did. Thanks for passing on your knowledge, as well as keeping me safe on the roads.
Glad it helped👊👊👊
Thanks bro i brok my idle cable and i was just goin to order a throttle cable i thought they where the same ill order an idle cable now
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching!
You’re video helped me adjust new cables. Thanks man!
Glad it helped👊👊
I installed a stage 1on my sporste. I was an idiot and fiddles with throttle body flap when i had the air cleaner off. When i started my bike up with the vance and hines fp3 it gave me a throttle position sensor too low and i can smell my bike running rich. will this help me reset my throttle and fix that issue? Thanks for any tips or advic.
I would give Venice and Hines a call for a recommendation. They are very helpful with situations like this. Ride safe.
@@TonysGarage i got it foxed myself i was making it out to be bigger than it was lol but thanks.
Will be adjusting my throttle cable today. Thank you !!
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching ride safe
Hey Tony, I want to get magnum cable as well. I have I
8 inch bars, I want to replace all the wiring, would you be able to help select which options are needed?
It has been a few years since I purchased those. Let me see if I can dig up some old invoices
@@TonysGarage thank you🙇
Hey Tony, I hope you are okay.
I'm new on this, got a question! Both cables need to be lubricated is it? Or only the front one that opens the butterfly? You made me that confident to do this, and go a head with my bike 😅
Both cables need to be lubed. Thanks for watching👊

What a great, clear video that explains how everything works. This is probably one of my favorite car/bike maintenance videos I’ve ever watched.
Good video. My throttle cable feels like it's starting to stick a little and I have factory cables so now I know to take everything apart and lube em.
