Finally had “time” to finish the bps throttle install, though my time was under a little duress with the wife tapping her foot so we could take the kids on the boat. Ended up getting rained out….Duck Engr wrote:BG I haven’t forgotten about this, just been a little busy. I’m going to have to do a minor modification to make it work. When I went to attach the motor end of the throttle cable, there’s too much distance between the end of the cable itself and the end of the black sheathing that gets clamped down.

Anyway, went pretty easy. As described above, I had to drill a new 3/32” hole in the plate that the throttle cable hooks to up by the air cleaner. Had to remove the exhaust to drill said hole. (10) 12 mm bolts. The bps cable is a little longer overall in addition to having more distance between the end of the sheathing and hook end of cable.
Trying to post pics but Tapatalk isn’t behaving again. Will try again from desktop tomorrow.
Overall I’m pleased. The throttle lever itself is longer. I’m betting this will lead to less hand cramping on long runs. Seems to have a little more travel in it, so I’m thinking I’ll be touching 3900 rpms as opposed to stock 3500-3600 at WOT.
