Going to be pulling the moter this week and thinking I might Update this along with a few other things. How long can I expect from when I order to see this at my door? I only have a 3 inch riser right now but plan on putting on differant handle bars wich should give me about 6 inches. Can I put on the longer cable and just put the extra under the hood tell I get my new bars?? Also is the price still the same??

It will be about two weeks until I get the next batch of extended cables.
You can use the long cable with a riser less than 4". The extended cable is $85.

Ok Thanks, Will get back to you. Hope to have my sled back together sooner then that and my cables are still working but if they look worn will be ordering a set and will have to just put them in some other time.

I do a few regular length cables left.

Is there an Extension for the regular cables then?

 

[FatBoyzfrenchy]

No, I don't have extensions for the regular length cable. The regular will work with up to 4" rise and the extended cable is for 4" to 10" rise. You have to decide if you are thinking of going taller than 4" then you are better to go with the extended cable and have the option to go as high as 10". Keep in mind the the maximum you can go with the stock setup (brake line and wiring) is 4".

I installed mine a couple of weeks ago. I pulled the driven clutch only. I did not have any problems with the install nor did I feel that the primary clutch was in the way at any time.

High idle after installing the throttle cable

Installed the FBF throttle cable today- thanks for the instructions and pictures - invaluable! It didn't take long - everything went together smoothly but it wants to idle @ 3000 now. I set the cable to the exact setting of the previous cable on the throttle body. Any suggestions?
I also replaced the throttle body boots, cleaned the exhaust valves and the reeds (quite dirty). I didn't want to adjust the idle setting until I confirmed that this may be normal or.........

Thanks in advance.

 

[FatBoyzfrenchy]

No that's too tight and you should have some play between the cable and TB when at idle. Use the adjuster at the TB as well as the inline adjust if needed to get it right. The tb should not be under cable tension at idle.

I don't think the cable is under any tension - I adjusted it to rest at the idle stop then tightened it. There is no 'play' in the cable. At wot the throttle bodies open to max and at rest there is no play in the throttle lever at the handle bar and the throttle body rests on the idle screw. What am I missing here?

 

[FatBoyzfrenchy]

Sounds like you're not missing anything if you have a bit of slack in the cable and the TB is set against the idle stop but just to make sure, give the cable a bit more slack and try to turn the TB pulley towards the idle screw to see if the rpms goes down a bit, if it doesn't then I would suggest you readjust your idle screw.

Are you running the longer cable by chance? If so, I had to run mine with the cable adjustment (mid-section) at zero play and at the throttle body. I have about 1 turn of the nut holding it on to get just a tiny bit of slack. I think the inner cable is just a tad short for the sheathing, but it works. Shortening of the cable by 1/8" would be ideal on mine.

Let me know when you get more cables.

How do order a fusion 700 oild cable?

You don't have to remove the primary just to find out if your old one is T-U.
Use a flashlight and have a look below the throttle body, you will be able to see the oil pump lever. Hit the throttle from idle to wot and release it while looking at the oil pump lever. If the lever does not come back all the way back and seems to stick at different places every time you go to wot back to idle, your oil pump cable has suffered the same faith as all the rest of them and needs to be replaced. I have to say that I did not attempt to change the cable without taking the primary off and I don't know if it can be done???

Took it off and reinstalled - don't know what I did differently but everthing works fine this time. Thanks for the input and your product - much easier to get the throttle body disconnected now and I notice less smoke in my wake!
