    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Throttle cable routing - what is correct?

GS1100G

I have some trouble after removing the carburator rack this winter for a rebuild.
When turning the handlebars max left or right when engine is idling I get an increase in the RPM - it goes from 900 to about 1700-1800 rpms.
So I suspect that I have routed the cable wrong - what is the right route?

It's my GS1100G -83 model, the cable comes staight up from the rack and bends about 90 degrees along the left side of the frame going under the left mount for the tank and then continues in a right turn to the throttle handle.

Any tips would be welcome!

The factory service manual has the proper routing. Basscliff's site has the 850 manual which is the same as the 1100 except for engine size. Download the 850 manual and then go to the back and find the GZ section which will have a drawing.
 
Thanks for the tip Nessism!

I found that I had routed it right but forgotten to tighten the nuts above the carburator rack. :rolleyes:
 
Hi,

I think this is for the '79 850. My clutch cable is routed between the carbs and the head.

Thank you for your indulgence,
