docc Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share Posted October 3, 2015 Determined to change out this degrading throttle cable before riding to Barber in five days, I pulled the tank and brought out the replacement cable I bought back in July. I remember the part numbers being a problem back in 2008, but figured that was all cleared up now. Not so! The original cable for the early Sports (01117530 with straight connection) is superseded by 01117590 which, apparently, fits the later V11 but has a 90˚ angle coming off the throttle control that does not suit the early configuration. Instead (according to MGCycle), order 01117560. Which I have used before, but forgot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On closer inspection, and extended consideration, I'm concerned that resting my fuel line (and, therefor, the tank weight itself) on the cable housing deforms it enough to cause alignment problems which might shorten the cable life. Going back together, I'm planning on grooming the fuel line completely off of the cable housing and its bracket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
