    Good evening ladies and gents!

    Does anyone know whether the throttle cables on a 2006 blade are routed LEFT or RIGHT of the top yoke centre?

    I am removing my Renthal bar (this is a single handle bar, not slip-ons) and riser reverting her back to original so I can fit the Repsol kit on (the previous owner had to butcher the fairing to accommodate...hey-ho).

    Got all the fairing bits off, removed Renthal bar and riser, got the original handles on and now find the throttle cables bind as soon as I slip the throttle grip fully on- it does not do it if left more than half off the bar. The way i found the throttle cables routed they are passing the yoke centre nut on the right side- presume they would need to go to the left so to reduce the slack and stop the throttle from binding once the grip is fully on? :confused:

    Sorry if I am answering my own question, it's just been a major ball ache so far and I don;t want to take it all apart again more than once....so please if anyone knows, tell me so I can keep my last bit of sanity! :D


    Thanks a bunch in advance!

    I have worked out that I could leave the throttle cables routed the way I found them i.e. running past the right side of the yoke centre nut. I just needed to adjust the cable angle at the throttle grip itself to address the binding issue.

    I still don't know if this is the factory setup, but it works for me- hope this will be useful info for someone else!
