88 k75s throttle cable at carb issue ???
« on: June 11, 2017, 07:48:28 PM »
Hello. I'm new and joined just to ask this lol
 I have a 88 k75s I recently made into a scrambler anyway I re routed the spedo cable to reach the new bars and never touched the cable at the carb end. However apon re connecting my throttle was sticking and after investigating I see the "white plastic collar " that slips into the carb bracket is slipping out of the bracket then getting caught up apon renentry making the cable not retract.  I've racked my brain why this is happening and have taken it out 5 times can anyone give me any advise ? Why is this collar not threaded or something. Am I to believe pressure should just hold this in cause it isn't ? Funny thing is it wasn't a problem before. Damn weird stuff happened when you take a part s bike and out it back together lol any help please I am thinking of cutting the color off and letting the cable move Free in there

greetings...

please post photos of what you are talking about...

j o
  this plastic pieces slips in to the throttle cable bracket   After I pull the throttle the plastic piece comes out of the bracket and gets hung up on re I try to the bracket. I feel the plastic piece should not be coming out at all  ??  It's kind of a silly design if you ask me

You lost the adjuster that is located at the grip.  #7 on the drawing.    If not that, you don't have the marks aligned properly.

Ahhhh.  K75s do not have a "carb".  They are fuel injected......

My man look at the photos I attached  we are talking about the " throttle body attached area "  not the handle bar area  I do have the adjustments in tact on the bar side

Go ahead and cut that collar right off that cable end like you thought you might do, my man. Show those engineers a thing or two about their silly design. Don't put up with these people and their needs for intelligible writing a minute longer!

Let us know how it works out, if you've got time. If you've got a spare carb doid, you should sell it on eBay.

Guess it's a good thing other normal folk and "engineers " decided to show the "engineers a thing or two about there silly designs "  from 1988 or we would all still be stuck riding what they created  back then ! Then again there are people like you that just follow the herd and listen to what they tell you a repost it on forums as the Bible !  Can you even change your oil let alone weld a frame up ?

Your problem is the result of the outer jacket being too short for the inner cable.  Assuming you have an OEM cable there are only two things can cause that problem:  Either the adjuster is missing(they will fall out of the grip assembly or slip off the end of the cable when the cable is removed) or the "timing" marks on the internal gears in the grip are misaligned.  This, together with drag in the cable due to fraying, dirt or a kink will cause the problem you're seeing.

That is all I have to offer.  Take it for what it's worth.  Like many others here, I only have about 50 years of riding, wrenching and racing on motorcycles.  I still ride about 15,000 miles a year and currently own and service 3 K bikes.  I will admit that since I don't hack up good machines I probably don't know as much as you.

Now, on behalf of the members here,  please go away.

Thanks for posting that photo of #69.  I always wondered what a brick looks like when it's only 200 miles from the scrap heap.
