Since changing to a Renthal Mini Hi bar on my sons 99 KX80 I've had some cable issues. The clutch cable was extremely tight even after adjusting it as loose as I could and snapped 5 minutes into the next ride. Solved that issue with a new clutch cable and a slight routing variation even though the original cable was in the stock routing. Now I also noticed whenever I turn the bars all the way to the right the motors starts to rev really fast and returns to normal when I return the bars to center or left of center. I think I have adjusted the cable as loose as I can, I turned the adjusters all the way into the throttle assembly and all the way in at the carb. I assume turning in is loosening as when I turned it out the idle started to rise. I've looked for another routing for the cable but didn't see a better one than the stock routing.
Does anyone have any ideas? I don't imagine it's the cable because if anything the cable would stretch as it ages not shrink. Also should that throttle cable always be at the top of the throttle or could it be positioned at the bottom (i.e. under the brake reservoir instead of above it) as that may give me the slack I need.
Thanks for any help!
