Quote from: "cascadetiger"My cable was sticking when I bought the bike.  I re-routed the cable under the seat, it has been silky smooth since.  Reading this I should pop for a new cable tho as I am at 24,000 miles.

The throttle cable goes nowhere near the seat on the steamer.
From parts unknown.

I'm glad you said that, I was begining to doubt my self..  :D

mine came with a new cable fitted, but feels a little heavier than my Thunderbird Sport - I just put it down to the different carbs maybe.. ?

My brain is either frozen from the cold, or I am ready for the weekend.  Of course the cable was re-routed under the gas tank.

Quote from: "intotheabis"I bought it privately and the guy said he never noticed it being so tight but he is a fairly big guy and it may not have bothered him.
I will check it out.
Thanks


Previous owners never notice anything amiss after the bike is no longer in their possession. :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Quote from: "intotheabis"Hi, do you know if the throttle cables are expensive?
Thanks


about 40 bucks from the dealer or bike bandit ...............they are a real pain in the ass to replace at the carb end . :shock:

Mustang,
Isn't everything on a Tiger a pain in the Ass to replace, install or remove? :x :lol:

Just got the bike back from the mechanic with a new throttle cable installed. What a difference!
He was determined to do it without removing the carbs and he managed to do it.
