    So I bought my RC36 last year and have had throttle issues ... the throttle is sticking at times. I checked the carb linkages, cables , throttle tube, switch. All good. But I believe it's a handlebar issue. The pic shows my bars and they are not stock. I think the are taller tan stocj causing the cables to be tight.

    Does anyone know if I can get slightly longer cables and is there a part number or what bike they come from?
    If not I will have to find a set of stock bars ...

    Thanks guys. IMG_6435.jpeg

    Yes, aftermarket bars.

    "slightly" longer is hard.

    I would probably be looking at VF1000F or Hawk GT cables, as they have pretty high bars stock and the attachment to the carbs is in a similar spot. Maybe ST1100 cables.

    I probably have some Hawk cables to measure. But I don't have any RC36 cables to compare to.

    Actually might have a line on some to do a side-by-side soon.
