Firstly to those who answerd, thanks. For those of you who I may have offended I say sorry. I may be one of the lucky ones who feels able to do the job and just wants to confirm with a question, and I see 80 read it, and 2 answers. Often I will have contained 2 questions, get one answer and then no one after prodding, will answer part 2...See original posts, Again thanks.

 

I am not offended. But I wanted to leave a non-answer. So, here ya go.

 

I read you're post about not getting the answers you wanted and now I'm reading this post. To answer your question here is a question: Do you have a factory service manual? I have cruise and changed the grips. I adjusted everything according to the manual and had no problems and didn't have to adjustthe cruise. The very first note about throttle cable adjustments in the factory manual is: Thecruise control cable only requires adjustment if the cruise module or cruise cable are removed or replaced, and then adjusted last using the CABLE LASH INITILIZATION routine on next page.
The only thing you do to the cruise during throttle/idle adjustment is pull the cruise module connector...not the cable.

So in conclusion, if you are going to flame everyone for not answering your question,make sure you read the manual and notes.

 

Be sure you end up with some free play in the clutch cable - pulling on the cable at the grip end should allow the cable to pull out about 1/8 to 1/4 inch. Lack of free play will wear out a clutch very quickly.
