Throttle cable adjustment

[akapellen17]

I need help with my throttle cable adjustment. I have absolutely no slack in the cables. I'm not sure how. Everything is backed out to the max.

Stock cable for the bike, and stock throttle tube? And I have to ask - you have zero slack at the throttle end AND the carb end, correct?

... under the tank where the cable crosses above that round tube that joins the two sides of frame... there is a big adjustable cable/zip tie. .. is that loose-ish? It should be... don't have it snugged up firm/tight..

Apart from that. . And what Rich asked... wrong cable routing?

Sorry for not replying and thank you for the help. I have the stock cables and the R6 throttle tube. When i switched to clip ons today, I couldnt get enough free play. I made sure the routing was good and all. What i ended up doing is removing one of the nuts on the adjuster by the carb and I got enough free play then. Thank you though!

Something isn't right, and iI'd suggest finding out what. You should have freely even with a brand new cable (when the steel cable would be at its shortest). Unless the R6 tube takes up more slack than the original, but I wouldn't know about that.

That nut you removed is a lock nut - without it the adjustment nut can drift, which can cause some new problems.

The r6 throttle does take up more slack. But I have it adjusted all the way so the lock nut actually was pointless. It just took up space. Now the actual adjuster is righted up against the metal tab.
