Baron Risers and sticky throttle

[frodotoo]

I installed Baron Risers on my bike today in anticipation of riding this weekend (finally). I've read thru the other threads regarding the subject and find no easy solution to my new problem: Throttle sticking on far right turn of the handle bars. Doubtful this will affect normal riding, but low speed parking lot turns could be problematic. Anyone find an easy fix other than taking off the fairing?? I slid my brake about a half inch down and that bundle of cables is fine but I don't see any way I can do the same with the throttle. Removing the fairing has got to be a big PITA. Any other suggestions or advice?

Try rotating the handle bars up or down and then rotate the controls on the bars to get the needed slack. You may have to reroute the cables differently through the steering head area. This is what I did several years ago and have never had a problem with binding.

I re-routed the cables to go under the top tree, took a few tries to get the right routing but now I doesn't stick at all at full turn.

I did the same thing.

I had the same issue, just took a bit of extra fussing around with the cables toget the slack needed.

...or buy longer cables...

So does that mean disconnecting them at the throttle housing or just trying to slip them around to another position??

 

Thanks for the replies!

rerouting or longer cables, unhook at the handle and reroute, remember one is pullback and you are just looking for a little releif. Longer cables are not that expensive and you will be much happier.

So where do I find a longer set of cables, I've been googling and find plenty of stock length cables, but nothing a little bit longer?

[dacheedah]

You want 2" over stock. You can contact buckeye http://www.buckeyeperformance.com/ and tell them what you want. On fleabay I ordered from motion pro and told them what I wanted, they sent it right out.

Skydoc also sells longer cables and brake lines.

Didn't mean to leave Skydoc out and he is actually a member vendor that is just a magician. I have seen him in action at Maintenance Day and he is truly gifted as well as being a great guy.http://venturerider.org/forum/member.php?u=4738

When you say under, what do you mean? Pictures?

 

Thanks,

Anyone have pictures of how you routed the stock cables with the extended risers?

[ragtop69gs]

Here's a few I just took, if ya want pics inside the fairing you'll have to wait till I open it to install my Buddy Rich Cable.

[wideopenrod]

Awesome, that's what we needed.

 

 

Thanks so much,

Guess I was lucky, I just put the 1-1/2" risers in and have never had any issues.

After installing my risers, my throttle stuck on the hard right turn for a couple weeks but now has seemed to have worked itself out. I don't have any stick in the throttle.

 

I still plan on getting longer bars anyway. But the risers work for now.
