Sportster Throttle Cable Adjustments 

6 years late but great video man. great explanations and how to.

So far this is the best video I've seen on how to adjust the throttle cables. Thanks a million !

Thank you for posting this video! Very good instructions. God bless in Jesus' name.

Thank you for this thorough guide - Been wanting to adjust my cables for some time and you just inspired me to go with it

Cannot thank you enough for making this video!! By far, your video is the clearest one on RU-vid explaining the touches of throttle and return ledges. Your tutorial is simple, clear & concise. Here is what happened : I put bar risers making my cables ended up too tense and the throttle became very sticky. My local dealer said I need to get a pair of new cables and it costs me around 250 dollars. Plus, I need to leave my bike with him for one week because of all the cable measurements, swapping and adjustments. Thanks a lot !!!! You have a good one !!

Hey dude. This saved my ass today. I was ankle deep in tension issues with the throttle, and not even the HD dealership could explain it as well as you did. Thanks for passing on your knowledge, as well as keeping me safe on the roads.

Thanks so much for the video! I was having too much play before the throttle opened up. Can't wait to go home and adjust it. Your videos are amazing bud!

Dude these videos are on point!! Excellent series so far!!

Great video that’s helped me out with adjusting my cables. Thank you 🙏

Have had my original throttle cables for 20 years on my sportster. This weekend it broke for the first time.I ve never lubricated anything. But like your videos!

Can you do a video on how to replace a clutch safety interlock switch? I broke that piece when trying to replace grips

You deserve way more subs these videos are extremely helpfull

Thank you, another great and informative video

Great Help. Good video . Good Teacher.

Dude I love your videos keep the info coming brothuuuurr

Good video. My throttle cable feels like it's starting to stick a little and I have factory cables so now I know to take everything apart and lube em.

Great lesson man. Thanks!

Thanks so much! Super helpful

Another great video!

Thanks for the video

Great video, subscribed.

Some explain how to adjust or use that star looking screw adjuster between the two cables... Thanks.

Great freaking video man. 👍🏻

What is the star like dial between throttle and return/idle cables under housing?

Thanks Tony

Tony's Garage hi watched your video on adjusting the throttle cable on the Sportsters I have a question for you I own a 97 883 hugger Sportster CV 40mm carb now on this type of carb routing the throttle and I del cable's would I route the throttle cable to the front side of the butterfly cam and the Idea cable to the rear side of the cam?

What a great, clear video that explains how everything works. This is probably one of my favorite car/bike maintenance videos I’ve ever watched.

Hi Tony's Garage your video is very good! I from to Brazil and I have one sportster 1200. My bike has a problem or balance. Do you have a video that changes the balance? Sorry, but my english is terrible.

I was wondering if you could help. My throttle cable is max adjusted and even if I run out of threads my throttle doesn't open 100% are my cables stretches

Mucho gracias Amigo, throttle cable loose and has play at entrance to housing

I just got a 2018 Sportster custom XL 1200. My idling app is very high and even without applying throttle the engine races. How can I reduce the idle so that the bike goes slow when not applying thro?

Thanks bro i brok my idle cable and i was just goin to order a throttle cable i thought they where the same ill order an idle cable now

You sound alot like Bill Pullman. True lies lol. Thnx again bro

Thanks mate.

nice vid but i do believe you do not put the lube tube in the hole in the top the lube hole is on the side opposite the tightening screw the hole on the top is for holding the rubber insert in place at least it is on the one i have in the uk.

Subbed!

appriciate the video, just a suggestion, maybe have someone operate the camera, it's hard to see what you're doing sometimes.

Hey Tony, I want to get magnum cable as well. I have I 8 inch bars, I want to replace all the wiring, would you be able to help select which options are needed?

I installed a stage 1on my sporste. I was an idiot and fiddles with throttle body flap when i had the air cleaner off. When i started my bike up with the vance and hines fp3 it gave me a throttle position sensor too low and i can smell my bike running rich. will this help me reset my throttle and fix that issue? Thanks for any tips or advic.

so how do you adjust the throttle cable and return

i cant thank you enough

Hey Tony, I hope you are okay. I'm new on this, got a question! Both cables need to be lubricated is it? Or only the front one that opens the butterfly? You made me that confident to do this, and go a head with my bike 😅

Awesome thanks.

Do you have a video how to but on a longer cable kit

Thank you thank you thank you LOL

I swapped grips and didn’t adjust anything, now my bike won’t start unless in neutral, is it because I didn’t adjust the cables?

Do you have too lube both cables?

Cool,know I know which one is throttle

Now I SEE

My stock adjustement nuts, ust wont move. It is driving me crazy.

We really need to drop our wrench like that ?

Or... you can count the threads and put both of them back where you had them to begin with.

Saving me 800.00

Tbh, there’s a lot of talking and you still don’t clearly show how to adjust it.

Great video. Thanks!
