Can any one help. I just raised my sons handle bars about 5 inches today. I had to add a cable extention and brake line extention. The sleds throttle cable now is tight and it idles too fast. The track is turning on my jack stand. It is a 1999 MXZx 600 with round slide carbs. Is the proper way to get slack in the cable to loosen the cables on the top of the slides.
Throttle cable extention question?

did you lube the inside of the extension? ive heard that you need to lube the crap outta the wire

I had to re-rout my throttle cable to gain slack, and solder extensions on my wires.
I had the same problem with my powermadd extension. I tried everything to get it to RPM right again but couldn't. So I took the original cable to a motorcycle shop and they extended it 8 inches. It works awesome and only cost 25 bucks. Wish I would have done that the first time.

X2... Most sleds I have been around that have tried the powermad cable extensions have problems with them sticking or not coming all the way back to an idle. Do yourself, and your son a favor and get a custom longer one built. There is nothing worse than have a cable stick at the wrong time. I believe slp used to make cables to order. There are alot of shops that do this as well. You will sleep much better with the right setup on there.
