who's running them and what are you using for an idle cable? I did the vaccum hose and a bolt trick but I would rather have an extended idle cable like I did on my 04 05. Just wondered if anyone used them on their 06 07.

post pics!!!

i tried finding one for my 08 with no luck, i swear the manual had a special part number for it, but maybe the it was the 07 service manual, try looking in there for the cable's part number and go from there but as far as finding one on the internet i cant either and i want one, im starting to wonder if i can go to kawi an get one for a zx-6 or zx-10 and see if that fits

exactly, somewhat like cruise control if you wanna do a drunken fool =p the bike drives itself, you lean it so it gos in circles and lay back and do whatever, stunter13 a great stunter from germany likes to jerk off like this LOL

can smooth out wheelies if you're learning

or can help the advanced rider pull off no handed wheelies


do you think this will work on my 08 though? (thanks tons for the part number) because my idle adjustment is like someone cut the head off a bolt and put the rest of the bolt through it.. this cable should replace just the bolt head-like part right?
you should post pics once you get it in there

Got it in today. Obviously the threads are off but with a thread kit it's an easy mod. Take off airbox, loosen up and lift throttle bodies, remove idle screw, rethread to match Honda idle cable, pit back together and your done.

Add smoke a pack of cigs, drink three beers, run around in circles bitching before all of that and that's what I did lol.

Case in point: do shit the right way first even if it takes longer and it's worth it.

I heard you don;t have to rethread if you find one off an old suzuki 1100 or something, I dunno but I just used a thread tap and worked it in and out until my idle cable turned in and out of it smoothly. It was off like a 01 or something, SUPER LONG:thumbup:
