Throttle cable

Dumb me removed the old throttle cable without remembering the path it was ran I went to replace it with a new one and I get no tension or it pinches when I turn the handle bars left. I'm new to working on bikes and need a picture of how to run it and adjustment tips. The new one seems to be only a little shorter than the old one. If someone could drop a link for the correct cable that'd be useful as well.

Not all bikes are the same. PLEASE add the year and exact model of your bike to your signature line. Ed

Here's how they're routed on my KZ650. I suspect the 1981 KZ750 would be similarly routed. Ed

Hello lucasr225

As first aid

"A" is the throttle cable



650ed is right, routed the same way
