I'm wanting to ditch the LH switch gear on my 749 as it's only being used on track this year. No problems losing the indicator / hilo beam / horn switches but I'd like to retain a fast idle lever. Does anybody know of a suitable part (perhaps of another bike) that would take the barrel end of the fast idle cable? Thinking about ringing round some breakers to ask but I thought I'd check here first.
fast idle?? better known as the choke lever. you could alsways run a pull and push type lever and cable to somewhere off the switch gear like some imports have them near the clocks.
If the throttle cables are interchangeable or you can swap them over??? Use a 748/996 throttle assembly with the push in button underneath. The "choke" on FI bikes only cocks the throttles a little to help the starting.
when you push it back it is far from idle! more like cruise control it is there for when you first fire your bike up (if needed) which makes it a choke lever
