what am i missing here guys??? i got an extended throttle cable off ebay for my ape hanger bars, i ran the cable from the grip down the backbone then over to the throttle on the left side (obviously) now my throttle off the carb without the cable works great, i can start the bike rev it no problem and it backs right down idle, but with the cable installed i can open the throttle at the grip and it doesnt seem to spring back to idle position unless i push it back forward at the grip?? also the new cable has a spring wrapped around the cable that slides along it to wherever you need i guess....does this go in a certain spot that im missing?? I know this has probably been answered a 1000 times before but these little things are getting frustrating after getting all the big stuff out of the way. any help would be appreciated...thanks!!
