• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

610 throttle cable routing

Hi gentlemen, this isn't a major problem but my bike just failed the MOT (annual UK road worthiness test) on the throttle cable routing.

A few weeks ago I was playing with different setups after changing the throttle cable for a new one and routed it in a manner that I thought was the best possible setup.

I routed it from the left side, then though the support beam from the main frame tube to the headstock and when I tested it, it only tweaked the throttle very slightly, even though logically it shouldn't have done at all because it had plenty of slack that way.

Since it was flagged up during the yearly MOT test, I put it back to standard but now the throttle comes on hard when turning right and thus would still result in a fail.

I specifically remember that the standard routing goes around the front of the headstock and around the right hand throttle tube, which I remember that I noted as being odd as it goes around two things that could help tweak it when turning the bars.

Pics are below of what I recall of the standard routing:










I am going to try to route it behind the suspension tube rather than around it and see if that solves the problem and will dutifully report back with a pic since I have started this thread when I may well still find the solution for myself, but it was necessary so that I can get back legal as soon as possible.

Edit: I have Googled "Enduro throttle cable routing" since they are all the same pretty much anyway.
 
I found the secret. Firstly I went back to the channel under the tank instead of going between the rad pipe

And then around the headstock and over the right hand triple clamp instead of around the fork tube

There is only now a slight throttle increase when full lock to the right, barely off idle.
