[QUOTE="Jon, post: 447879, member: 5219"] My problems began with the installation of the new Heli triple clamp and rerouting of the throttle cables. I was sure I got it right and that the cables were not binding. What made it so confusing was that when the bike is off I can twist the throttle and release it and it snaps back to its rest (idle) position every time. I've verified this by checking the position of the throttle body linkage (tank, T-bar and heat shield removed). I have the MCC cruise control installed, have unwound the return spring one turn and do not have a G2 tube. Everything worked fine until the triple clamp installation. Sunday I took the bike for a 150 mile ride. It rode fine except that, when released, the throttle would slowly return to idle and then only to about 1500-1700 rpm. I had to rotate the throttle grip forward, and hold it there, to get the bike all the way back to idle (about 1000 rpm). Again, with the bike off, the throttle snapped back to its idle position. From the comments and assistance offered here it sure looks like a cable issue. I will be back at it next weekend and hopefully find the source of my problem. Please feel free to offer additional advice. Thanks to everyone for assistance and advice already given. [/QUOTE]
