    Hello so i jus got done replacing fork tubes and the lower stem (accident accrued) and i put everything back. Went to go check if everything was riding right. Backed outta my driveway then cut the bars all the way right amd it is making the rpms go up to about 3000. I know they say that sometimes the throttle cables will be pulling because i didnt route them right. But i dont really see any tightness in the cables. However i dont know if i did route them the right way. but upon looking at the manual it looks like it is ok. Can anyone help please??

    Slowly turn your bars to the right and monitor the throttle grip, and then repeat and monitor where the cables attach to the throttle bodies. If either are moving, then that's your problem (I'll guarantee one of them is - it's the only way for your throttle bodies to open and the RPMs to increase).

    It definitely sounds like the routing or the cables too tightly secured. Make sure that the cables are free to move a little. If you have zip tied them and they are too tight (unable to move) then that can cause issues in addition to routing.

    What Jeff said, you have the throttle cable tied up too tight

    Just to expand on this, you should always have a little slack at the throttle throughout the full range of motion of the bars. You may need to loosen the cable adjuster, or the routing may not be correct.

    Thanks everyone for your replies. Very helpful. Turns out it was my choke cable =/ was supposed to be behind my left fork tube. It was over it so it was being pulled when i turned right. I however have another issue with the breaks. =/ i posted another thread about it. I hope u guys can help me with that as well. Thanks guys!

    On a Harley this is SOP. What it does is automatically accelerate the bike coming oot of a turn.
