Harley Davidson Throttle Cable Adjustment

www.jakewilson.... Having the throttle cables on your Harley Davdison properly adjusted is important. It allows your bike to idle properly and allows you to smoothly and easily control the throttle position on your motorcycle. This video demonstrates how to inspect your throttle cables and also how to adjust the throttle cables and finally set the correct amount of freeplay. These same steps can be used to adjust throttle cables on any model of Harley Davidson equipped with the dual cables throttle setup.

Simple clear instructions. And to the point without 5 minutes of blabbing before the actual tutorial. Thanks for making this!

[@johnnytuups]

Great video. And you didn't demand $6.99 to view it! Thanks.

[@Jakewilson]

John Tuups Hey thanks! Hope it helped out for ya.

[@walkerjw81]

+John Tuups No. Friggin. Shit. Right? That's total BS that a certain channel that rhymes with Fix My Hog charges to help people. Really bummed out about that. Good video here!

[@KooLaidblue]

I don't even ride a harley but this is THE BEST video on throttle cable adjustment on youtube. Every other video neglects to mention how to adjust the return cable, they only focus on freeplay of the throttle cable. I was so worried about adjusting it, now.....cake. Good job guys.

[@zacksrandomprojects9698]

Nice vid. I thought it was gonna be super complicated but thats just like adjusting any other cable. Thanks for the video!

[@tomd4167]

This is the best, most informative well documented well videoed yet as brief as necessary. You get an A+ dude. My bike has an S&S carburetor so this was perfect for me. Once again congrats on a great video.

What lube should be used?

[@peckerwood3487]

You didn't show me how to replace the friction spring

[@irishdunn3455]

What happens if the throttle or idle cables are too lose or too tight? What are tell signs of one or the other?

[@geoffeves4722]

I have a 2007 heritage softail classic fuel injected, do I need to remove air cleaner to adjust the throttle? What am I looking for?

[@badmatt4227]

Clean, consist and to the point. Very helpful. However, some advise to sound more professional, minimize using the word "you."

[@moto238]

All of your video's are concise,correct and easy to understand with great camera work. Thank you for doing them!

After finishing installing a CV carb, which replaced a Mikuni carb on m y 2000 Springer, I noted that I could not adjust the return cable. I loosed the lock nut, but when I attempted to turn the adjusting nut, it did not want to turn and wanted to twist, along with the cable. What could be causing this? There should not be a kink in the cable, since I did not remove it from the bike.

[@petrkruncl7884]

Good video but can you tell me what was the beautiful bike in video
cause Im looking for bike like that .

[@keltingr]

road king with the hard bags taken off? No idea

[@allenmicheal8134]

Thanks for giving more details about doing this compared to other videos!

[@joelanejo]

Thanks for the video trying to adjust 2003 Harley Sporters 883

[@daveandrews6670]

Was this actually about changing your throttle cable or adjusting it. Mine snapped the other day. Idk subed anyway

[@joshhoward8905]

Maybe you can give me some advice on adjusting the throttle on a 2000 Yamaha 650 V-Star. It has dual cables with the return cable unable for adjustments by the throttle housing. The throttle cable being the only cable with the ability to be adjusted at the housing. Should I follow your directions in this video until the return cable adjustment? Is this considered a fixed cable?

[@elsey1976]

Great video! Installed Kuryakyn grips and had a major problem with it not snapping back closed. A big part of my problem was that the cables were put behind the windshield when I reinstalled it. Should have been in front of it but this video was a major lifesaver regardless

[@tombooze74]

I've followed the steps but I'm still not getting a full snap back. I can see the butterfly almost closing but not fully. Any suggestions please

[@ronin5979]

That's FAR more than an 1/8 inch! 😂

[@stevestockburger391]

Easier than I thought, thank you for the clear video.

[@angelmeow]

Ok, I’ll try to keep this short. On my 2009 super glide custom, my throttle is sticking open. The last time I rode her everything was fine. It’s been about a month since I’ve rode her last. I went to ride this weekend and the throttle was sticking open. Does anyone have an idea as to why this is happening? I’ve tried lubeing the cables, and I’ve made sure the little knob on the under side of the housing is open. Nothing is working. I need help!

[@broncodude6299]

Secora Villan sounds like it may be the cable(s) have developed enough crud that normal lube process may not be enough. ?? Just a thought. I had a slightly pinched (don’t ask how, I would have to lie 🙄) idle cable some years back. Thought it was in need of lube, thought wrong 😆 I know this is a few months old, but wanted to post in case others have same issue. Ride safe 👍🇺🇸

[@Gatuso2311]

Is it better to have the eight free play or no play?

[@saltyberserker4235]
