Throttle cables

[Sam-Jaffa]

Any idea what ran the longest throttle cable out of the oil cooled lot? The one i had I gave away with my carbs and now I need one, always the way

If you've still got the old one, either measure it, or send it to Venhill or similar.  If not, take a measure of the routing from throttle to carb linkage using curtain wire, and send to same. Or Wemoto's 'Slinky Glide' cables?

I don't have the old one unfortunately, I just know that it was pretty long and a standard Suzuki part but can't remember if it was slingshot 1100 or bandit 1200

Bandit 1200 is longer.

Thanks @dupersunc

There is one other factor. I'm running a bandit cable with 750m carbs. The bandit cable is not only longer but also longer at the ends. It's "looser". So I need my cable adjusters all the way out on the last thread on both the carbs end and the grip end and it's still got a cm or 2 of play.

A cm or two!  That must be interesting.  D'you mean mm?

maybe... I'm saying I have to run both adjusters all the way out and there's still noticeable slack. Maybe I'm mistranslating what I feel in the throttle tube to actual cable slack. But still. it's not snug and tight like most people have it. And is unable to be.
