Default Throttle cable.

Found these on VWP http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.e...ntrolcable.php

How do i figure out the inner and outer lengths for my throttle cable?? Is there any easy way, or is it just guess work?

Cable will be connected to gsxr600 throttle bodies.

Cheers

Dave

Best bit so far: Getting it running
Worst bit so far: Cutting steel for wishbones and engine mounts.
Most annoying bit so far: Generator packing up half way through welding.

Inner cables are usually longer than outers
You can cut the outer to length fit the inner then cut off the excess at the most convenient end.
It's no different to fitting a new brake cable to your push bike

I actually used a brake cable off a mountain bike on my bike carbs, done 1600miles and its still like new.

Just cut it to whatever length you need.
