Throttle cables play ???

[/b] Why am I having so much problems with setting up my throttle cables.
I've done research on the web in regards to this topic and the other day I tried to set my throttle cables up, but I couldn't get the required free play everyone states I should have .
All my cable adjusters are screwed down on the throttle bodies and it seems I can't get any freeplay. Also when I started the bike up the next day the fast idle lever didn't work either (jammed)

What to do ?

Suggest using the search on this forum

I had the same problem with the fast idle recently - need to remove the bar end and grip and you will notice a small screw on the fast idle lever that has come loose. Tighten and all should be fine

If still unsure, there is a thread with images on here if you use the search.

This is the screw that could be loose,(centre) and possibly you need to look at the cable junction box (tank off job ) . Some lubrication may help

I also found on my S that there is a detent ball and spring on the fast idle lever that had rusted solid and prevented the lever from returning all the way back, but in your case I would also suspect the junction box.
