carb/throttle cable set up
Hi again all
So, went to put on my nice new set of throttle cables from GF and found the pull to be 120 mm shorter than the old one, making it simply impossible to work, the cables I ordered are for an NC30, as that is the bike I have but my carbs are rvf ones. Long story short have I requested the wrong cables ? Do I need NC35 ones instead?
Many thanks

Re: carb/throttle cable set up
I'd say yes. The throttle cables are attached in different places. On the 30, it's the #2 carb (front left) and on the 35 it's the #1 carb (rear left). Hence why 35 cables would be longer.
