Title: Throttle Cable Adjustment Post by: MotoCreations on May 18, 2008, 08:14:54 PM Mentioned in another thread but figured I'd post here for others also.
I've measured throttle play at 8mm in worse-case scenarios. Typically @4mm via factory. Friends Hypermotard was over 4mm. My Multi was 7.2mm before adjusted. Spec is 1.5-2.0mm. Typically I usually adjust them to near zero. link to adjust --> Throttle Cable Play (http://www.webbikeworld.com/ducati-motorcycles/gt-1000/throttle-cable-adjustment/) Just curious -- what did your measurement of throttle play display? And after adjustment? Did it make much difference to the rideability from your perspective?

I like it near zero but make sure that once you have it adjusted you swing the bars from side to side while the engine is idling. If you have a tight spot the idle will rise when you turn the bars.

Scott +1 I agree. As near zero as possible with no binding. I've never measured the play, wasn't aware there was a spec for it.

I've never measured the play, wasn't aware there was a spec for it. i likewise have taken the play to near zero. it's much smoother on/off, and the only thing i have to watch out for with steering play (I have adjusted to lock to lock out as much as i can without the bars connecting with the tank, i have the 3" rise city bars on my bike) is the fast-idle cable gets a bit tight at full left steering lock, not really a problem but you have to watch for it |
