Stupid Question
Hey all,
Still waiting for the owners manual on mu used Dyna but cant wait with tis one so excuse the possible stupidity.
Under the throttle side housing is a nickel sizes propeller screw, what is this for and how do you use it?
Also, I seem to have a lot of free play in the metal elbow of the two cables from the throttle. Is tis normal or can i tighten them.
Thanks in advance to all,
Dan

RE: Stupid Question
suicide throttle screw - you should back this off all the way and not use it, however - if you really want to, you can tighten it up and use it like cruise conrol on long highway rides.
the play is normal, the cables need to move some as the bars are turned.

RE: Stupid Question
what do you consider "alot" of free play?? I have abt 1/8-1/4" free play in my throttle grip. If you have more you can adjust the idle and throttle cables with two 3/8" wrenches to that amount. As stated previouosly though, make sure you got play in your grip for the whole range of motion of your handle bars.

RE: Stupid Question
On the "cruise control" knobsubject...I've actualy used mine...before it fell off after the first month or so. It was kinda fun...like playing chicken with yourself. I've never missed it though and don't think I would use it normaly anyway. Most guys leave them off after they fall off. the stealer probably want a Hundred Dollars (HD) for it anyway.
On the throttle play, my dealership adjusts mine way too loose for my tast. I usualy adjust it back up to just a1/16"of play (giv or take)with it being able to move all the way through the motion of the bars.
