Shortneing throttle throw

I shortened the throttle on my 675 with an OEM tube from another bike.

It is definitely shorter but not short enough. Next step is a 1/5 turn.

The only real issue to be concerned with is taking up too much throttle cable. Make sure once the install is done that you can turn the bars lock to lock while the bike is running without causing the engine to rev.

If it does, you'll need to create extra slack in the cable by:
1. adjusting it at the carbs/throttle bodies OR
2. rerouting the cable to free it up OR
3. Getting a longer cable
