Cracks, kinks, corrosion, and severely worn areas due to rubbing should all be cause for concern. The throttle cable should be visually inspected for damage. Once these are concluded, we’ll discuss complete cable replacement. We’ll start by outlining the basic checks and adjustments that should be performed to ensure correct throttle cable operation. Within the service manual, you should find free play specifications, throttle cable routing information, lubrication info, and the prescribed tensioning procedure. Your service or owner’s manual should provide all the pertinent cable adjustment information you need for your specific make/model of machine, and should be used to complement the advice and recommendations provided in this write-up. Be sure to reference the owner's manual of the model you're working on. We'll be replacing the throttle cable on this used CRF450R.
